Although your child will be taught to read at school, you can have a huge impact on their reading journey by continuing their practice at home.

The reading practice sessions have been designed to focus on three key reading skills:Children across Years 4 – 6 who need additional support will have regular 1:1 reading with decodable books. Alphabet sounds flashcards like these are specifically designed to teach children how to read through the use of phonemes and graphemes instead of memorising the individual letters. This follows the ideas behind the Letters and Sounds program by the Department for Education.

Due to the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic we have adapted our current Phonics programme to meet the needs of the children. Any child who needs additional practice has regular keep-up support, led by a fully trained adult. Keep-up lessons match the structure of class teaching, and use the same procedures, resources and mantras, but in smaller steps with more repetition, so that every child secures their learning.Making something competitive can encourage some children to pay attention and engage. You could challenge children to find objects that begin with a certain sound. They could bring the objects in or take photographs.
