Phonics
Children in Recepetion and Key Stage 1 are taught phonics in small groups for a period of forty five minutes each day using the Read Write Ink programme (click for more information about this).
Phonics skills are practised throughout the day in other curriculum areas. in Key Stage 2 all children have daily Spelling, Grammar and punctuation lesson. We follow the "No Nonsense" scheme of work for grammar and spelling from year 2.
Over recent years, we have invested heavily in new reading books. These are coloured coded and children are able to choose from a range of different books and genre. Every child has a reading book to take home to read with their parents each night.
