Phonics
All pupils in reception and year one are taught to read using the Read Write Inc. scheme. Read Write Inc.is a programme developed by Ruth Miskin, and is taught in over 5000 schools in the United Kingdom. The programme systematically teaches all of the common sounds in the English language, helping pupils to recognise the sounds and then to ‘sound-blend’ them into words for reading. Children become fluent readers and confident speakers as a result of this method of teaching.
Reception and year one pupils receive 30 minutes of RWI each day. Children in year one are required to take a statutory check to assess their phonic ability.
Reading
In addition to their phonics lessons, pupils in Reception will hear stories every day, as well as having access to the reading corner every day, to choose a book for pleasure. English lessons are also themed around story books, to constantly increase the number of stories that pupils are exposed to.
Reception children are read with 1:1 every week.
