Phonics
We follow the Twinkl Phonics Scheme in our school. The children are taught in levels from 1-6 and begin the programme from nursery. They work through the different levels during daily lessons up to the end of year 2. They learn more than 40 sounds that help them to blend and segment words which supports their early reading progression. In addition the children are sent home with a Rhino reading book which is phonetically decodable and matched to their phonic ability.
Update January 2026
We will no longer be having weekly spelling tests. Instead, we will integrate the words sent home throughout the week in phonics lessons. We feel this is more beneficial to the children. Please work through the words sent home with your children; this could be in writing, or glitter, chalk, however you please! ![]()
