Reading at Windhill

At Windhill, we love to read and to share books. Throughout school all children have access to comfortable and engaging areas where they can access a wide range of age appropriate texts and are given time to enjoy reading for pleasure as well as for study.

 

Our school library has a wide range of appropriate, good quality fiction and non-fiction books all chosen to provide the best reading experiences alongside our school reading schemes. In addition every class has its own welcoming reading area featuring everything from recent authors to classics where children can spend time enjoying books and learning more about their favourite authors.

 

We have spent a lot of time in school recently focusing on improving reading areas around school and as a finishing touch we have worked closely with the library service to rejuvenate the school library. Old books have been recycled and many brand new books added, all now organised and sorted into easy to use categories to make the library easier to use. New displays have helped to breathe new life into the room and the children have a renewed excitement about this valuable resource.
