At Oakwood Primary School we provide our children with a wealth of reading opportunities. Our school uses a selection of reading schemes including; Oxford Reading Tree, Ginn & Project X to provide our children with the opportunity to read a variety of text types and to also continue to motivate and engage our children.
We also have a well-stocked school library which the children are able to access and choose books which interest them to take away and enjoy.
