Phonics

We follow the DFE Scheme, Letters and Sounds for teaching phonics throughout EYFS and Key Stage 1. EYFS also supplement this by using Jolly Phonics as the 'hook' for the sound and action.

For details of Letters and Sounds, follow this link.

Reading

We use a mixture of Oxford Reading Tree, books banded by colour from various publishers and real books, to teach reading.

COVID-19 ADAPTATIONS

From September 2020, we will now be using Rising Stars Reading Planet online as our reading scheme. This is in line with our risk assessment where we are reducing the amount of books and reading diaries being passed between school and home, thus minimising the risk of transmission. It is approved by the DFE and is aligned with the Letters and Sounds phonics scheme we use in school.
