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.
