Our school teaches the phonics scheme Essential Letters and Sounds; this is a phonics programme based on Letters and Sounds (2007). This new phonics programme will support your child in making quick progress to become fluent and confident readers.

To best support us in teaching your child how to read we ask that you read the decodable text provided by the school at least 3 times across the week. Spending 10 minutes a day reading with your child will hugely support them in their journey to becoming an independent reader.

Please take the time to watch the videos below to ensure you are supporting your child with the correct pronunciation of the sounds.
