Teaching Reading: Our Phonics Scheme

We use SoundsWrite in the teaching of early reading to ensure that all our children develop the efficient decoding and strong comprehension skills that equip them to read for and with enjoyment. You can read more about SoundsWrite at sounds-write.co.uk.

Here is an example of how to support your child with reading.
