Phonics and Reading Schemes
 

Reading Scheme & Phonics
We develop a love for reading and provide our children with a wealth of reading material, introducing them to various authors and different types of genres.            
Our Phonics sessions take place daily throughout EYFS and KS1. We use “FFT: Success for All Phonics” as our systematic synthetic phonic programme validated by the DFE. Synthetic phonics is a method of teaching where words are broken up into the smallest units of sound (phonemes). Please click here to find out more.

Children in EYFS and KS1 use the aligned Success for All Phonics books as the main reading scheme.
However, this is supplemented by various other schemes to provide an even richer range of texts.
These additional books are colour banded and used throughout the whole school including KS2 which allows children to see their own progression and experience a wide range of schemes at the appropriate level.
