Phonics

 

Little Wandle is a DfE approved resource we use in school to support the systematic teaching of phonics. We have a very structured plan in school to progress children through a range of Phases, this ensures children become competent readers and writers.

 

If you require any additional support or advice, please come into school and speak with your child's class teacher or our Phonics Leader, Mrs Slater.
