Phonics, Reading and Kinetic Letters
Phonics and Reading Schemes
In Reception the children begin their phonics journey with us, using Read Write Inc. This approach continues to be used as the children make their way up through the school.
Our pupils are offered a range of reading books to support them as they start to enjoy reading independently and these are aligned to their phonics stage. As they develop their reading skills, the children use an Online tool called Accelerated Reader to carry out quizzes based on their books and work towards reading more challenging texts.
