o Children in Reception are taught to read and spell words using Phase 2 and 3 GPCs, and words with adjacent consonants (Phase 4) with fluency and accuracy. Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 receive additional Phonics ‘keep up’ sessions either on a 1:1 basis or in a small group. By the time children leave Princes Risborough Primary School we want them to be competent and fluent readers who can recommend books to their peers, have a passion for reading a range of genres including poetry, and participate in discussions about books. At Princes Risborough Primary School, we believe that reading is the key to all learning and so the impact of our reading curriculum goes beyond and is embedded across the entire curriculum for our children. Children in KS1 will love challenging classmates or making the phonetic noises all together! Think of actions or motions to go with the sounds to make sessions more dynamic.

Build phonics expertise across your whole staff team, based on the most recent research with on-demand initial training and ongoing CPD including live events at Little Wandle
Champion Schools.
