Phonics

The children will take part in a phonics lesson daily in Reception

The children will take part in handwriting sessions on Monday and Friday- during these sessions they will practise writing letters and also words. 

Little Wandle sounds will be sent out via Tapestry every week. 

The children will be taking part in 'three reads' per week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The first read has a decoding focus, the second read a prosody focus and the third read a comprehension focus.

The children will visit the library every Monday to choose a book to take home to share together.

Core Books and Poems

This year we will be looking at 5 core books and poems in Reception, it is our aim for the children to have a deep understanding of these core books and poems.

We refer to these books as their 'special books' and children have access to them during provision time in our book corner. We will also be reading these frequently during the year. Each week on a Thursday afternoon Mrs Bolton does 'Time to Talk' with the children, the focus of these sessions is one of our core books, every child will participate in these session over a half term. Mrs Bolton will cover one core book per half term.
