  • Phonics

Phonics

The school use the Sounds-Write programme to teach pupils the early acquisition of reading and writing. 
In nursery, they focus on Phase One of Letters and Sounds to teach the children to tune into sound, discriminate sounds and remember sounds. They then move on, when they are ready, to more structured lessons following the Sounds-Write programme as they move up the school.

Reading At Home



To start with, children will be given a phonics book to support their reading at home. The more children practise reading each day, the better readers they will eventually become so we really encourage our children to read each evening. When they have mastered phonics, they will move onto a reading scheme. We hope that they move through this quickly as the main goal to to become free readers so children can discover books that they enjoy.
