Reading at UCS
This structured approach to reading at UCS not only advances academic achievement but also instills a lifelong appreciation for the power of words.
DEAR Time
(Drop Everything and Read)
Weekly sessions encourage students to read widely, with teacher-selected texts that deepen subject understanding. This practice has shown to significantly improve reading ages and academic performance across the curriculum.
Form Time Reading
Students explore various genres through novels during form time, enhancing vocabulary and comprehension. Led by form tutors, this initiative brings classic literature to life, fostering a love for reading.
Parental Involvement
Parents play a crucial role in nurturing a love for reading. We welcome parents to volunteer for reading programs, enhancing our reading community.
