Phonics

During their time in pre-school, our children participate in planned activities to support the development of speaking and listening skills. Activities are planned to develop auditory memory and sequencing skills, which in turn lay the foundations for future phonics teaching.

We use the Read Write Inc (RWI) synthetic phonics scheme to deliver our phonics teaching. This is a systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme that is validated by the Department for Education.

From the start of the Reception year, we introduce daily phonics sessions. These phonics sessions might be only ten minutes long in the first few days. However, by the end of Reception, children will receive about an hour of phonics teaching a day to consolidate previous learning, learn new content and practise and apply what they have learnt.

Phonics teaching continues into Key Stage 1, until children are confident with all Set 1, 2 and 3 sounds and can read 70 -80 + words per minute. Once children reach this stage, they then read Accelerated Reader levelled books and follow the Read Write Inc Spelling programme.
