Phonics

At Meadow, we strive to inspire a love of learning within all of our children; reading is at the heart of this vision. We teach reading through Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, which is a systematic and synthetic phonics programme. We start teaching phonics when the children start in Reception and work our way through the programme until your child can read fluently.

Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised

Little Wandle website

The Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised website has resources to help you support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. There are also some useful videos to help your support your child with their reading at home too. 

These are the sets of phonemes we learn to say and write in school. When the children start school with us in September we learn 3 phonemes a week. 
You can watch the videos each week at home to learn the sounds alongside us in school and learn the rhymes to help form each letter correctly.
