Early Reading AND PHONICS @ Severn Beach Primary
We are delighted to announce that from September 2024, our children are learning to read with 'Little Wandle Letters and Sounds'. (We have now moved away from 'Supersonic Phonic Friends'.)
Early Reading (Reception, Y1 and Y2)
Your child will learn to read with an adult at least 3 times per week. Your child will practise reading every day at school.
Reading books matched to your child's phonic ability (that they can read independently to you), will be sent home at the end of the week.
Your child will listen to their teacher read a story at the end of the day.
Your child will also choose a library book to share with you at home.
Phonics (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2)
Your child will receive daily phonics lessons in Reception and Year 1. In Year 2 your child will receive daily phonics and spelling lessons.
If your child has fallen slightly behind at any point they will be given 'Keep Up' interventions. If your child has fallen significantly behind at the end of Year 1 they will be given 'Catch Up' lessons in Year 2 and beyond as required.
We also have a Little Wandle SEND programme that runs from Reception to KS2 if your child has a significant learning need or barrier.
If you have any questions about Early Reading, Phonics or the Catch Up and SEND programmes please speak to us.
