We use the 'Little Learners Love Literacy' resources for our Structured Literacy programme. This programme is split into 7 stages.
Each stage has letter sounds and heart words. The heart words are words which can not be sounded out eg: 'the'. Heart words need to be learned as a whole word.
Once you child has learned a set of letter sounds and is able to blend the sounds together we will start to send home LLLL decodable books.
Each book practises the sounds and letters that they have learned, so your child will be able to read the books themselves by sounding out and blending (no guessing!).
Stage 1 letter sounds and characters.
Stage 1 letter sounds, heart words and decodable words.
Stage 2 letter sounds and characters.
Stage 1 & 2 letter sounds, heart words and decodable words.
We also use the app 'Reading Eggs' to support our learning of letter sounds through engaging and independent activities.
Ask us for your child's login details.
The slides below have decodable words from each book. These can be used to help your child read the words quickly and become more fluent in their reading.
