How can I support my child at home?

Reading

Children will read with an adult in school once a week - please make sure they bring their reading record and book every day. 

Reading at home is really important and will support your child's progress. Please read with your child 3 times a week and share their successes in the reading record provided.

 

Phonics

The current scheme we use for teaching phonics is Sounds Write  

Sounds-Write is a linguistic phonics approach (speech to print) and a systematic 
synthetic phonics programme validated by the Department for Education in 
England. 
● It is a highly structured, cumulative, multi-sensory approach to teaching reading 
and spelling.
● The four key concepts that students are taught and the three skills they need to 
master. 
● Students are taught the Initial Code in Reception and cover the Extended Code 
and how to read Polysyllabic Words. 
● Phonics is taught for 30 minutes daily in KS1 and also taught in KS2.
