At Mount Pleasant Primary School, we believe that all our children can become fluent readers and writers. This is why we teach reading through Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, which is a systematic and synthetic phonics programme, validated by the Department for Education.
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 EYFS and Year One, preparing our pupils for the statutory phonics screening that takes place at the end of year 1.
The below information provides information on how phonics is taught at Mount Pleasant Primary School Primary School, including a selection of resources which you can use to support your child’s learning at home.
If you require any further support, please contact your child’s class teacher or our Phonics and Early Reading Lead, Mrs O’Brien.
