In January 2025, we started using the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP).

This is a fully comprehensive programme where children start learning single letter sounds in the Autumn Term of their Reception year and it builds in progression throughout Reception and Year One, preparing children for the statutory phonics screening that takes place at the end of year one.

Phonics is taught every day and children learn to apply their phonics skills in reading practise sessions at least 3 times a week, developing their fluency and comprehension skills along the way.

The Little Wandle website is a fantastic resource with lots of information for parents including ‘How to’ videos.  There are videos to show parents and children exactly how to pronounce each sound. This is very important! Please do take a look!
