Phonics:

Phonics is a way of teaching children how to read and write. It helps children hear, identify and use different sounds that distinguish one word from another in the English language.

Phonics:

We use a systematic form of teaching phonics through a synthetic process. The children will learn how phonemes (sound) and its associated graphemes (letters) are pronounced in isolation and then blended together (synthesised).

Phonics:

There will be an evening meeting (Virtual) in January, where we will go over phonics in more detail.

In the meantime, lots of information can be found on the below websites:
