What curriculum do we use?

For phonics we will be using 95% Core Phonics. This is a science based phonics program that teaches phonics that is systematic and explicit. It teaches:

phonological awareness - the ability to manipulate sounds in words (blending, segmenting, sound deletion and substitution etc).

Phonics Patterns - learning about the different patterns in English (consonant blends, digraphs, vowel teams etc).

Sound-Spelling Mapping - students think about the word, tap out the sounds, then spell the word. We do this using Elkonin boxes to help them think about the letters and sounds.

Fluency - this is a students rate of reading. Students should read at the rate they speak and should read accurately and with expression (prosody).
