Curriculum Overview

 Phonics

In KS1 we have daily phonics sessions where children will identify phonemes and the words which they appear in. This helps them to become fluent readers. We follow the Read Write inc phonics scheme. Once children are able to read fluently they will move on to whole class reading sessions. 

Assessment

In summer term Year 1 children will sit a national phonics screening assessment to determine children's reading abilities.  Year 2 children will sit some standardised test to assess whether they are age-related or above.
