Reading and Phonics

Phonics Screening week is June 12th 2023. We are really excited for all pupils to show off their phonics skills.

Reading helps your child to be successful now and in the future. Reading at home will help your child in many areas of their learning. Please read with your child each night to help them progress. 

Read Write Inc (RWI) is the phonics scheme we use to help pupils learn to read. The below clip shows you how to say each of the sounds your child is learning!
