Reading and Phonics

Phase One phonics teaching is designed to develop children’s listening, vocabulary and speaking skills. Throughout this phase children will have the opportunity to have fun with sounds, listen carefully, and learn new songs and rhymes. They will begin to explore aspects such as rhythm and rhyme, alliteration and oral blending and segmenting. Phase One phonics lays the foundation for further phonics work and will help to prepare children as they begin to learn to read and write.
