Phonics- Little Wandle

Our school uses Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised to teach phonics. 

We have daily phonics lesson and reading books that matches our phonics ability. 

We read in school 3 times a week, each read focused on a different aspect of reading decoding, prosody and comprehension. When the children bring their books home on a Friday they should be reading the book with fluency. The children will be frequently assessed to ensure the book they are on matches their phonics ability.

There are also some useful videos, so you can see how they are taught at school and feel confident about supporting their reading at home.
