Castle uses the Oxford Owl Reading Scheme across the school.  There are level descriptors on the Oxford Owl website to help teachers place students on the correct reading level, e.g. Level 1+ books are for students who are just beginning to use simple Phonics to read words like ‘sat’ and ’pin’.  The books use words that are familiar and predictable, and the pictures help convey the meaning of the story.  ​
