Phonics

"If a child memorised ten words, the child can only read ten words, but if a child learns the sounds of ten letters, the child will be able to read 350 three-sound words, 4,320 four-sound words, and 21,650 five-sound words." - Martin Kozloff

We use Rising Stars Rocket Phonics as our systematic, synthetic phonics scheme.

Any child receiving phonics teaching and/or phonics interventions (in any year group), will receive a phonics decodable book.  Children will also select up to 2 books from the library or from the class book nook as their reading for pleasure book which they may need an adult to read to them.
