Phonics
We introduce sounds in phonics for the children to recognise as they build up to learning to read. In school we teach the sound the letter makes as opposed to the letter name. Below is a really useful video about what phonics is and why we teach the way we do.
We follow the Read Write Inc. phonics scheme. Here is a link to the parent guide. From here you can access a vast set of resources to help support your child with their phonics at home.
