Phonics

At Abingdon Primary School, we follow the Read, Write, Inc phonics and reading scheme for children in EYFS and KS1 with some of our children continuing the scheme until they are confident readers in KS2.

All children from Reception to Year 3 are assessed and placed into a corresponding group. There is also a crossover with Reading Gems, and those children who have completed the scheme will be part of a Reading Gems group in KS2 at the same time. 

Children will receive phonics, guided reading and writing four times a week in this group and this will be their English lesson on those days.

They bring home a book that is matched to their phonics ability. They should read the book at least 3 times through out the week and should be fluent with it in time for the day it is changed. 

Below is a copy of the speed sounds that the children will learn. This is displayed during lessons for the children to see.
