Intervention


Your child may have been identified as needing a Keep Up Phonics session which is a ten-minute session in addition to their daily Phonics session. These sessions are designed to narrow the gap in your child's phonics knowledge and help them to acquire the sounds they have not yet secured.  

The Phonics Screening Check

The Phonics Screening in Year 1 will not take place until Summer Term 2, the week commencing the 10th of June 2024. We will update our videos and publish further guidance in due course.  In the meantime, please visit the Raglan website, where you can find a bitesize video recorded by Miss Ferrand, giving you key information about the Phonics Screening Check.

Alien Words

During the Phonics Screening Check the children will be expected to read (sound and blend) nonsense words, known as alien words. Please watch this Little Wandle video, a guide to alien words.
