Phonics
Phonics is a method of teaching people to read by learning the sounds of letters and groups of letters. We use the Letters and Sounds Programme to teach Phonics throughout the school. All children have a phonics lesson every day.
Why is phonics important?
Learning phonics will help your child learn to read and spell. Written language can be compared to a code, so knowing the sounds of letters and letter combinations will help your child decode words as they read. Knowing phonics will also help your child know which letters to use as they write words.
