Phonics and Reading

Phonics and Reading at Sytchampton
 
Reading and Phonics
 
 In Early Years and Key Stage 1, pupils take part in daily phonics and reading lessons. We use the phonics programme Little Wandle: Letters and Sounds Revised.
 
Children then move onto longer reading books to develop their fluency and stamina for reading.   

Individual Reading

Children will bring home a Little Wandle reading book to share their reading at home.  They will also bring home another book to share. 

These books are for your child to read to you. It has been carefully chosen so that they can use the skills they have learnt in phonics to read all the words. Some books will have words for you to read with your child, these are known as ‘share with me’ books. Other books will have no words for the children to read but contain detailed pictures to discuss and create their own story. Most books will have key words to practise before and suggested questions for you to ask about the story after they have read it – you can ask other questions too as those provided are just a guide!
