Phonics

At Church Eaton we are passionate about equipping our children with the skills they need to be able to read and find enjoyment from the written word. We follow the Schofield and Sims My Letters and Sounds programme which is a comprehensive resource for the teaching of systematic, synthetic 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. Written language can be compared to a code, so knowing the sounds of individual letters and how those letters sound when they’re combined will help children decode words as they read.

Phonics Phase Overview

Phonics Screening Check

The Year 1 phonics screening check is not a formal test, but a way for teachers to ensure that children are making sufficient progress with their phonics skills to read words and that they are on track to become fluent readers who can enjoy reading for pleasure and for learning.

In #Class1 we have planted bulbs ready for spring in our growing box. The children were fascinated by the bulb and had amazing ideas of what it will grow into! They knew what it needed to grow. We have some really keen gardeners in Class 1. #Science

In #Class2 we are looking at structures in #DT. Firstly, we have thought about the base and how to secure it. The children then had the challenge of how to make the sails. I wonder if you can guess what the structure is going to be?!
