Reading & Phonics

Curriculum

Reading & Phonics
Phonics Scheme
 
The school has adopted the Letters and Sounds (Little Wandle) to teach phonics.

Phonics Scheme


At St Clare’s Catholic Primary we believe that the teaching and learning of synthetic phonics is of substantial value to your child’s ability to learn to read.

We follow the government’s approved scheme, which is Letters and Sounds.
