Phonics

Phonics is an incredibly important part of your child’s learning, as it is the first stepping stone to enable your child to become a reader. The teaching of phonics begins in Nursery, but this learning becomes more rigorous and structured in Reception and Year 1. In the Summer term of Year 1, the children complete a national phonics screening test to determine your child’s ability to decode letters and sounds in order to read words. This is a very important checkpoint, as it assesses whether your child is meeting age related expectations in reading.   Please click here to view the Phonics Screening Workshop’ powerpoint.  Please click the links below for further resources
