Phonics
At St Gregory’s Primary School, we follow Floppy’s Phonics, a systematic synthetic phonics teaching programme for early reading and writing. We use interactive phonics lessons and activities to teach children the sounds in words and the code (letters) used to represent them. Reception will take part in a daily phonics lessons. Each lesson begins by rapidly revisiting previously taught sounds and codes before being taught the next new sound. They will use the Floppy’s Phonics Sound Books to look for words which contain this new sound and discuss the meaning of any new vocabulary. They will practise forming the new code, reading words and sentences which contain it and write their own independent sentences. This learning will transfer into their daily reading so children can apply and consolidate the new sound and code.
