English

At St. Andrew’s we support children to become successful, fluent readers by the end of Year 2. We are passionate about teaching children to read and write independently, as quickly as possible. These fundamental skills not only hold the keys to the rest of the curriculum, but also have a huge impact on children’s self-esteem and future possibilities.
