Phonics and Reading

Our phonics scheme is Little Wandle. We read Big Cat Phonics Readers from Little Wandle as our home reading books. 

We have phonics every day in Reception and Key Stage One, along with three reading practice lessons with an adult each week, additional keep up time if we need it and 1:1 reading. 

Please click here to go to the Little Wandle parent page. These videos and guides will help you to support your child at home with phonics. If you require any further support at home with phonics and early reading, please contact your child's teacher and they will be happy to help. 

Here is our school guide to helping your child to read at home in Early Years and Years 1 and 2.
