How technology can support reading

We want children to grow up with a love of books, but also recognise the place for computers, smartphones and tablets as ways to engage children to read.
 
EYFS and KS1 children and families are encouraged to use Oxford Owl (https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/) while other children in LKS2 have access to Epic (https://www.getepic.com/). Finally, we introduced another online reading resource aimed at Years 5 and 6 called Reading Plus. This programme is an adaptive literacy solution that improves fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, stamina, and motivation.
