Phonics and Reading
At Larkhall we have devised a systematic synthetic phonics programme based on the extensive experiences of our teachers and the needs of our children. Teachers have been exposed to and worked with a wide range of programmes and as such developed our own programme which:
- Includes all essentials to teach SSP to children in reception and key stage 1 years
- Is sufficient support for children in reception and key stage 1 to become fluent readers
- Is a structured route for most children to meet or exceed the expected standard in the year one phonics screening check
- Meets all national curriculum expectations for word reading through decoding by the end of key stage 1
- Is shared with all teaching staff annually as part of our CPD programme
For details of what the children will be learning this half term, please see the Autumn Term 1 2024 Newsletter below. The Newsletter also contains more information linked to this term. Previous Newsletters from last academic year can also be found here.
