Phonics
In Early Years and Key Stage 1, we use Little Wandle Letters and Sounds as our systematic synthetic phonics programme.
Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised is a complete Systematic Synthetic Phonics programme (SSP) developed for schools by schools.
Based on the original Letters and Sounds, but extensively revised to provide a complete teaching programme meeting all the expectations of the National Curriculum and preparing your children to go beyond the expectations of the
Phonics Screening Check.
When children are fluent readers and have completed the Little Wandle programme they move on ‘No Nonsense Spelling’ whilst continuing to use phonics strategies to break down words in order to learn spelling rules.
A short video, which explains in a little more detail, what to expect from the Year 1 phonics screening and what it will look like, so please look at this to support your child’s learning at home.
