"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." Dr. Seuss
Phonics:
Reading is the single most important key to successful, enjoyable learning. Floppy's Phonics Scheme, a systematic, synthetic phonics programme, is used consistently across early years and Key Stage 1 (and beyond if necessary) to support early reading success.
Spelling:
From Year 1 onwards, we use the ‘Spelling Shed’ scheme which is divided into six stages, each stage corresponding to the respective school year. Within each stage, there are weekly objectives and spelling lists that give a steady progression through the English curriculum but also offers opportunities for our children to review spellings and attempt additional challenge lists to extend vocabulary.
