We follow Read Write Inc Phonics at St John’s Highbury Vale. This scheme develops our children to read accurately and fluently with good comprehension and teaches them to form each letter correctly and segment words for spelling.  Our children learn one way to read the 40+ sounds and blend these sounds into words; they then learn to read the same sounds with alternative graphemes.

Phonics

We follow Read Write Inc Phonics at St John’s Highbury Vale. This scheme develops our children to read accurately and fluently with good comprehension and teaches them to form each letter correctly and segment words for spelling.  Our children learn one way to read the 40+ sounds and blend these sounds into words; they then learn to read the same sounds with alternative graphemes.

All our children in Key Stage One are grouped for phonics according to their stage not their age and are taught in smaller groups for a half an hour session each morning.  Children may be working with children from other year groups. Regular assessment will ensure that your child is placed in the correct group at all times. When children are ready to come off the phonics programme, they will work on spelling patterns and reading skills during the morning sessions.
