Phonics are the essential building blocks, which all children need, to begin to learn to read. 

The children have a daily phonics session using Jolly Phonics.

We use synthetic phonics as a method of teaching the letter sounds, enabling children to become confident readers.

Please click on the Jolly Phonics link to browse their website and familiarise yourself and your child with phonics practice.

Phonics is taught as a stand-alone lesson and then linked to learning throughout the day. Here are some further links to prepare your child for learning phonics.

All children will begin by learning phase 1 phonics, moving on to phase 2 by the end of term 1.
