Phonics and Reading

 

 

In our school, to teach phonics and early reading in EYFS and Key Stage 1, we follow the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised programme.  When children have completed the phonics programme (usually by the end of Year 1), they move to the Little Wandle Y2 Reading Fluency and Spelling programmes.  We ensure our curriculum is interactive and engaging for all.

Children read phonically decodable reading resources, including Big Cat for Little Wandle Letters and Sounds and Big Cat Phonics readers, directly matched to their individual phonics knowledge and needs.  Children work through the reading scheme, following careful assessments of phonics knowledge by teachers.
