Holy Child Primary School, Derry

Literacy

Literacy is at the heart of learning across our school, and we are committed to nurturing confident readers and writers. From the early stages of phonics and guided reading to more advanced writing skills, children are supported at every level to develop strong foundations in literacy. We encourage a love of books through engaging lessons, storytelling, and access to a wide range of texts that inspire curiosity and imagination. Our approach ensures that pupils not only build essential skills in reading and writing but also develop a lifelong enjoyment of literature and learning
