LEARNING to make a difference

Phonics

Information from the Parents meeting 30/9/24

At St Paul's CE Primary School, we use the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP).

This is a fully comprehensive programme where children start learning single letter sounds in the autumn term of their Reception year and it builds in progression throughout Reception and Year One. At the beginning of year 1 children are introduced to phase 5. In this phase your child will be taught all of the alternative pronunciations for phonemes. This prepare children for the statutory phonics screening that takes place at the end of year 1.
