Phonics
At Parsloes Primary School, we believe that all our children can become fluent readers and writers. This is why we teach reading through Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, which is a systematic and synthetic phonics programme. We start teaching phonics in Nursery and follow the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised progression, which ensures children build on their growing knowledge of the alphabetic code, mastering phonics to read and spell as they move through school.

How to Help at Home
We expect all of our children to read to an adult at home every day.
The Little Wandle website has resources to help you support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. There are also useful videos so you can see how they are taught at school and feel confident about supporting their reading at home.
