Holy Trinity C of E Primary - Christmas Read Aloud 2022

In September 2021 Dorset Council, Chesil Locality, launched The Chesil Reading Project in conjunction with all schools in Weymouth and Portland. The project aims to support every child to be able to read at their highest possible level and to foster a life-long love of reading. Reading is the gateway to all learning and to children’s ability to thrive in their education. Children who are behind in their reading age, struggle to access their learning and that gap, if not closed early, just gets bigger and harder to close. Current research tells us that Covid 19 has now impacted children’s reading ability, putting many of our youngest children even further behind.
This Christmas, children have had fun choosing a Christmassy text to read to others. Their teachers have recorded them and their videos have been put together by Dorset Council to share with others over the festive period. We hope you enjoy hearing their stories.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. Love from all the children in Chesil schools. They are all excellent readers with bright futures ahead of them. Stars in the making!
