8. PHONICS
 Your child will follow a programme of phonics teaching based on the Primary
National Strategy document ‘Letters and Sounds’, in order to develop and
practise their reading skills.
 Daily 20 minute session and opportunities for children to apply their phonics
skills around the classroom.
 Phase 2 (Reception): In this phase the children learn a new sound each day,
accompanied by an action to help them remember it. For example, ‘sssss’ for the
letter S.
 Once secure with their sounds, the children begin to segment and blend the
sounds to form new words. For example, s a t = sat.
 Alongside this, the children will learn ‘tricky words’ which are sounds that the
children cannot sound out phonetically. For example, the word ‘the’. The children
have to memorise this visually.

9.  Phase 3 – Children learn ‘digraphs’ and ‘trigraphs’. This is when
two letters come together to make 1 sound. For example, ch.
 The children will then learn alongside this an increased number of
tricky words and learn how to write them successfully.
 Phase 4 – Children consolidate their previous learning.
 Phase 5 – We will move children onto Phase 5 if they show a
secure understanding of Phases 2,3,4.

10. READING
 Home-School Reading Scheme:
 In addition to the phonics programme, your child will also bring home a ‘home-
school’ reading book from our selection of phonic reading schemes.
 This book is to be practised at home and it will be changed at school twice a
week. If your child is able to read the words in the book and talk about what
happened in the story, they will be given a new home reading book.
 It is suggested that you will enjoy and share this book for five minutes every
day, as opposed to a lengthy reading session once or twice a week.
 Your child will have a personal reading record in their book bag.
 Please feel free to make comments. You and your child can make a response to
the book by either writing a comment or drawing a picture.
 Please ensure that your child brings their reading bag to school every day.

11.  Guided Reading Sessions:
 During the school week your child will be part of a small guided reading
group. We enjoy and share topic and reading scheme books. With the
teacher the group will practise their developing phonic reading strategies
and practise ‘tricky words’ and the key ‘reception words’. The children
will practise talking about stories and books.
 Story time:
 Throughout the school day your child will be exposed to a variety of
books. There will be lots of opportunities for your child to engage and
share books that fire their imagination and interest. We intend to
‘promote reading as a source of pleasure and interest and motivates them
to value reading’ – (Letters and Sounds).

12. WRITING DEVELOPMENT
oDifferentiate pictures from writing.
oSquiggles and making meaning to their marks.
oLines and circles.
oInitial sounds.
