At Fairlight we teach phonics using "Little Wandle Letters and Sounds" from Reception onwards. We support this with decodable books throughout all KS1 until children become fluent readers. They then move onto book banded books. Once on book banded books we assess children regularly using our assessment tools and will use interventions such as BRP to check they are still on track. |
Little Wandle Letters and Sounds
Look here for the " Little Wandle" parents page, there are some really useful videos showing you how we teach phonics but also some great videos to help you support your child at home. Here is a pdf all about phonics and early reading, how we teach it and how you can help. |

Pronunciation of Sounds We know how hard it is to support the work we do in school when you are slightly unsure about how we teach things. Here, we have some brilliant videos showing you exactly how we pronounce each individual sound. They are organised in the same order that we teach them.

Writing the Corresponding Graphemes Here are some grapheme mats that will help your child with their reading and writing.

Here is a selection of phonics games where your child can play to practise applying their sounds online for free.
