Phonics

Phonics is a key priority at our school.

It is key for children to learn how to read, to unlock knowledge and for future learning.

We have implemented 'Bug Club Phonics' - a fully-approved sytematic, synthetic phonics programme - to structure and sequence the teaching of phonics - with a consistent weekly approach to deliver this effectively.

See the guidance below for more information about the 'Bug Club Phonics' programme.

Children in Reception and Year 1 receive daily phonics sessions.

Pupils will also be given a 'Bug Club Phoncs' book - a fully phonetically decodable reading book - to develop their reading ability and fluency, focusing on sounds taught in their phonics sessions.

eBooks and games will also be allocated to children via their Bug Club Phonics 'ActiveLearn' accounts to reinforce, and support, their learning at home, focusing on sounds from their taught phonics sessions within school.

Pupils will also have the opportunity to read a variety of books to share with adults in school and at home to read for pleasure, build vocabulary and help develop a love of reading from an early age.
We reguarly run workshops for parents to support parents and carers. However, if you would like to learn more about the teaching of phonics or have any queries, please contact your child's classteacher.

Phonics & Early Reading Workshop

Every year, we hold a Phonics and Early Reading Workshop for Reception and Year 1 parents and carers to provide an insight into the whole-school process and approach to phonics; how we teach and develop early reading skills; and finally to provide useful guidance into reading at home with pupils.

Below is a copy of the slides used in the workshop for parents/carers to refer to at home.
​There is also a  useful resource, providing questions to use when reading with children at home to check for understanding.
