Literacy and Reading

At CHS South we believe that reading is a fundamental part of every child's education. 

All students are supported to develop the skills to be successful readers. All children read twice a week in Form Time and regularly encounter CHS South reading and vocabulary strategies as part of their day-to-day learning. We provide additional tuition and support for those students who need it and regularly provide opportunities for students to develop a love of reading in school and their day to day lives. Our library provides students with access to a range of texts and support to navigate their learning, and all students have access to our online library, which you can find out more about below!
