Reading

At Kettlebrook PRU, we firmly believe that reading is a cornerstone of academic and personal growth. For our secondary school students, reading is not just about decoding words on a page; it’s about unlocking new worlds, ideas, and perspectives. Through reading, students can explore diverse cultures, historical events, and scientific discoveries, all of which enrich their understanding of the world around them. We encourage our students to engage with a wide range of genres and authors, fostering a love for literature that extends beyond the classroom.

Moreover, reading enhances critical thinking and analytical skills, which are essential for success in all areas of study. By analyzing texts, students learn to evaluate arguments, identify biases, and develop their own informed opinions. At Kettlebrook PRU, we provide a supportive environment where students can discuss and debate what they read, helping them to articulate their thoughts clearly and confidently. We believe that these skills are not only vital for academic achievement but also for becoming thoughtful, informed citizens.
