Phonics
Throughout KS1 we follow the Read, Write, Inc. programme of study for phonics. Children experience daily phonics sessions throughout Key Stage 1 where appropriate.
Phonics sessions are designed to be highly engaging, fun, focussed and fast paced. There is lots of support on the RWI website https://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/find-out-more/parents/ on how the programme supports the development of reading.
Our reading scheme follows the Oxford Reading Tree, but is supplemented with other books which are banded according to their difficulty.
Children in Year One are then tested in June on their decoding ability and knowledge of phonics. Please visit this website to find out more.
