Phonics

Phonics at Borrow Wood Primary School

From September 2022 phonics will be taught using the Little Wandle Systematic Synthetic Phonics programme.

All children in Foundation and Key Stage 1 (Year 1 and Year 2) have a daily phonics lesson with additional daily sessions for identified children to ensure they keep up with the programme.

A significant financial investment has been committed to buying resources, training and phonically decodable books to enable the teaching of phonics to run smoothly.

Mrs Tomlinson is our Early Reading/Phonics leader and she will be providing further information about Little Wandle over the coming weeks.

The Phonics Screening Check

All children in Year 1 do the Phonics Screening Check in June. Should children not make the standard in Year 1, they redo the Phonics Screening Check in Year 2.

Little Wandle information for parents and carers The Little Wandle website provides support for supporting your child at home. There are short videos to watch, resources to print off and ideas for sharing books at home including story books and reading books.
