Power of Reading

At Hampton, we have adopted Power of Reading to teach writing. This is based on the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education's (CLPE) research around the importance of using high quality literature and texts as a basis for the teaching and learning of literacy. It explores the impact of this on the children's engagement and attainment as readers and the link between reading and writing development. This is supported by creative teaching approaches that enable us to develop a whole school curriculum that fosters a love of reading and writing and strives to raise achievement in literacy.
