Phonics - Learning to Read

Phonics

 

At St Mary's we use the Read, Write Inc. Scheme to teach Phonics. 

 

Phonics involves matching the sounds of spoken English with individual letters or groups of letters.  For example, the sound k can be spelled as c, k, ck or ch. Teaching children to blend the sounds of letters together helps them decode unfamiliar or unknown words by sounding them out. 

 

Please do not teach your child to sing or say the alphabet. Children should only be learning the sound of each letter not the name. 

 

For more information about the scheme please click on the Read Write Inc. Parent Website below:
