Phonics
Children are taught phonics using the Letters and Sounds resource as well as Jolly Phonics. They learn sounds and tricky words in sets as shown below:
Phase 1
Phase 1 concentrates on developing children’s speaking and listening skills and lays the foundations for the phonic work which starts in Phase 2. The emphasis during Phase 1 is to get children attuned to the sounds around them and ready to begin developing oral blending and segmenting skills.
