Coventry Grammar School’s Reading Room Program is designed to:

• Enhance the love of learning throughout the primary school.
• Encourage children to see themselves as capable and confident readers.
• Prevent reading failure.
• Continually assess students to determine strengths, weaknesses, and needs.
• Provide early intervention to students in need of support through daily one-to-one or small group instruction.
• Promote enriching experiences for students with highly developed skills.
• Guide flexible groupings to maximize reading success within the classroom.
• Offer collaborative support to classroom teachers as the in-class reading programs develop throughout the school year.
• Advocate for and support at-home reading initiatives.
• Provide professional development to classroom teachers and para-educators on current and innovative reading research theories, practices, and strategies.

The Reading Room staff are creative partners with teachers and the principal in encouraging a total school environment that values reading as the fundamental and essential skill for inspiring life-long learning.
