Phonics and Early Reading

At Chailey St Peters early reading is taught through the systematic teaching of phonics. We follow the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds programme which ensures key sounds, words and tricky words are taught in a progressive way. We have invested heavily in fully decodable books which are carefully matched to your child's reading ability and these are sent home each week to practise. Children are also able to select books from our well equipped library to bring home and share as a family. 

Each child will be given their own reading bag and phonics flashcards when they start at Chailey St Peters to give them the very best start to their reading journey.
