At Edgebury Primary we use the CLPE (Centre for Literacy in Primary Education https://clpe.org.uk/ ) Power of Reading teaching approaches and resources in our English lessons. This is a complete book-based approach, recognised to improve literacy standards.                                                                                                                                               

We use high quality texts that develop both reading comprehension and writing composition, and foster a whole school love of reading and writing. The Power of Reading puts quality children’s literature at the heart of literacy learning and is built on years of research and best practice.  The programme develops teacher subject knowledge and supports our school to raise engagement and attainment in language, vocabulary, reading and writing and meet all the requirements of the National Curriculum.
