Class Letters and Information - Summer 2
The Phonics Screening check will take place throughout the week commencing 10th June. Information can be found here.
Reading in Year 1 using Read Write Inc In Class 1 we follow the Read Write Inc phonics programme where we practice reading sounds, spelling and reading daily. Please click here to find more information on how we teach reading in school.
Each week, we will send a link for the phonics sound your child has been learning. These will be sent via Class Dojo. This not only keeps you up to date with sounds your child has learnt, but also offers an opportunity for them to show off their reading skills - please encourage your child to practise as often as they can!
