Phonics and Reading 

In our Phonics, we use Twinkl Phonics to deliver high quality Phonics lessons. Each lesson follows a key process to ensure children are successful in their learning. The lesson begins with a revision session (to revise pervious learning) and then new learning is introduced. The children are then given opportunities to read and write words linked to the new learning and then read a sentence where this learning is applied. Throughout the day, they are then provided with opportunities in all areas to 'bump' into their learning. This includes opportunities in Guided Reading, Provision and Adult Led Activities. 

Phonics Information

During Year 1, we focus a great deal of our learning on being able to read and use phonics sounds. By the end of Year 1, we are aiming for children to be secure in using all the sounds from Level 2- Level 5 in their reading.   One of the best ways of becoming secure in these sounds is using flashcards daily.

Below, there are resources which you can use at home to support your child's reading development.

Reading Information

This is an information booklet linked to the KS1 Reading Skill Vipers. These are the types of questions which your child will be asked during their reading. We have provided it here for you to use at home as well. If you have any questions or queries about this, please see the video on the Learning Resource Center or email your class teacher - thank you!

Rhino Readers

As part of our Twinkl Phonics provision, your child will also receive a digital book each week. This will be a Rhino Reader book and this will directly link to the sounds they have learnt in the week. You will receive a sticker with an access code on it. If you are having issues accessing the book, please speak with your child's teacher - thank you.
