At Hollingwood, we learn phonics through Read Write Inc.
When children are initially learning the phonemes (sounds), each one has an accompanying picture. This helps children to memorise them and also form the letters correctly when writing. We also read story books that are specifically tailored to your child's stage in that only the sounds they know will be included in the text. This way, a love of reading is promoted and reading fluency is increased.
This video on understanding phonics is ideal for parents of incoming Reception children. It explains what the National Curriculum says about learning to read, why learning to read and spell in English is more difficult than in other languages, and how phonics can help.
