Reading at Trekenner

At Trekenner, our aim is to foster a lifelong love of reading by developing confident, fluent, and enthusiastic readers. We strive to ensure that all pupils: 

  • Develop strong foundational skills in phonics, decoding, and comprehension. 

  • Engage with a wide range of high-quality texts across genres, cultures, and historical periods. 

  • Build vocabulary and language skills that support both academic achievement and personal expression. 

  • Read for pleasure and purpose, cultivating curiosity, empathy, and critical thinking. 

  • Are equipped with the strategies to understand, interpret, and evaluate texts independently. 

Through a rich and inclusive reading curriculum, we empower every child to become a thoughtful, reflective reader who sees reading as a gateway to learning and imagination.
