Phonics at Newfold.
Here at Newfold, phonics is taught on a daily basis through ‘Letters & Sounds’ by the staff in the EYFS and Key Stage 1. The teachers supplement their teaching by using an interactive program called ‘Phonics Play’ which covers the 6 stages. When the children reach the final stage they also gain access to ‘Spelling Play’.
In addition to the discreetly taught phonic sessions, the reading schemes that are used are:
Read, Write, Inc
Oxford Reading Tree – Phonics.
To develop their reading further, our ‘Home Readers’ are banded and include a wide selection of independent authors and a collection of schemes including:
Project X
Dandelion Readers
Collins Big Cat
Sunshine Spirals
Flying Boot
Oxford Reading Tree
Nelson New Way
Nelson Open Door
PM Starters
