Throughout school, from Nursery to Year 6, a love of reading is fostered. Teachers choose books to share with their classes to inspire and excite them, to develop vocabulary and a love of stories. Staff are well trained in the teaching of phonics and reading. Click the link below to find out more about how we teach and support reading at Hollin Primary.

Our staff have created some fabulous Reading Areas for children to enjoy in their classrooms.
At Hollin, we recruit two Reading Ambassadors from each class, in Years 1-6. Reading Ambassadors are chosen for their love of reading, their willingness to share this passion with others and enthusiasm to promote reading throughout our school.
You can learn more about our Reading Ambassadors by clicking here.
We have hosted many 'Share a story' events across school, where parents and family members have been invited to share a story with their child. These events have been popular and we are looking forward to hosting more, to actively work together, to promote reading across school. Information about upcoming 'Share a story' events will be communicated to you via Text and on our class Twitter pages.
