Children begin their reading journey In Nursery, where they are introduced to sounds and participate in pre-reading activities which develop phonological awareness. When they are ready, children are introduced to letter sounds and begin to develop oral segmenting and blending skills.This is built on in Reception and Key Stage 1 where children take part in daily phonics lessons using the Read Write Inc (RWI) phonics programme.

Parental support is valued, and the school greatly appreciates parents/careers hearing children read at home.
