Early Reading
We use the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme to deliver phonics across Reception and Key Stage 1 (and into Key Stage 2 where necessary). We implement the programme rigorously, working alongside the English Hub and Read Write Inc. who offer support and challenge on a half-termly basis.
From their first day in Reception, children access the RWI Phonics Programme to ensure they become confident and fluent readers with a love of books at the earliest opportunity. The RWI Programme links reading sounds to writing them. Children love their RWI sessions... and so do their teachers!
As children move into Key Stage 1, their phonics learning continues. We have high expectations for phonics attainment and where children are not meeting the expected standard, we implement rigorous intervention to ensure they catch up. We are determined that all children will learn to read at the earliest possible opportunity and our staff are highly trained in identifying gaps in learning to ensure children catch up quickly.
