Reading and Writing at ATAM
The overarching aim for reading and writing at ATAM Academy is to promote and celebrate high standards of literacy by equipping students with a strong command of written language, and to develop a knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of reading and writing in different contexts. Reading and writing are developed through quality teaching and learning across the curriculum where students benefit from opportunities for silent focussed writing in all of their lessons.
We also actively encourage reading through our weekly reading lessons for Years 7 - 9. Writing is celebrated throughout the school and we encourage students to participate in writing competitions in school, locally and nationally.
Since home learning has begun, we continue to recognise the increasing importance of cultivating an independent love of reading - both for pleasure and purpose. We have recommended 'free' sources of eBooks (myON) for students and their families to take advantage of but we appreciate the need to provide more permanent, easy access to quality reading material for all.
Please email through any suggestions of texts you would like to see included to info@atamacademy.com and mark for the attention on Mrs Virk.
