In Year 1 and 1/2, children learn to read through phonics.
Phonics is the connection between written letters (graphemes) and the sounds they make (phonemes). We teach phonics using a programme called Read Write Inc.
This video shows how children are taught to sound out a word and blend the sounds together.
