Yearly Curriculum Overview.
Although children are required to have covered the 6 Phases of the Phonics curriculum by the end of Year 2, we recognise that some children will still need to work on aspects of developing their phonic knowledge and understanding beyond this. As a result, we use the "Floppy's Phonics" scheme for the teaching and learning of phonics, with particular focus on consolidating and/or closing the gaps in knowledge and understanding using the associated interventions. For further information, please follow this link.
To support the teaching of Reading we have fidelity to one scheme, provided by ORT, that has direct links with the phonics teaching and learning, and is designed to help children develop their phonic knowledge, comprehension and speaking & listening skills.
Alongside this, children read for pleasure regularly and also in guided sessions, where the focus is on developing the specific reading content domains.
