KEY STAGE 1 PHONICS
The school uses the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds revised program to teach phonics in Year R and Key Stage 1.
Children in Year R and Year 1 will have a daily phonics session which will focus on individual phonemes (sounds), blending and segmenting skills (reading and spelling) and developing sentence writing.
In Year 2 the focus is on using phonics to aid spelling.
Reading books are sent home regularly for children and parents to enjoy.
For further information on the teaching of phonics, please call in to the school, make an appointment to see your class teacher or check out the link below.
