Reading at Holy Trinity
It is our intent at Cookridge Holy Trinity to ensure that all our pupils become enthusiastic and motivated readers who have a love of literature and enjoy reading, not just for pleasure, but to gain a better understanding of the world around them. Consequently, reading and books under-pin our entire curriculum. We aim to build children’s confidence in reading by immersing them in a wide range of genres and text types and give them the skills to decode words in order to read fluently with a solid understanding of what they have read.

Reading for empathy
‘Empathy is a vital skill, and books are the best, and most fun, way to learn it.’
– Cressida Cowell, Children’s Laureate
At Cookridge Holy Trinity we believe it’s important for children to develop their empathy skills to become rounded members of society who are confident in embodying the Christian values taught in school in their adult lives. In an ever-changing world it is vital that children grow up being able to understand the world from other’s perspectives and books provide a safe means of exploring issues they may be facing now or in the future.
