At Stoke Minster CE Primary Academy, we use the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP). This is a fully comprehensive programme, which builds in progression throughout Reception and Year One, preparing children for the statutory phonics screening that takes place at the end of Year One.
Phonics is taught every day and children learn to apply their phonics skills in reading practise sessions 3 times a week, developing their decoding, prosody and comprehension skills along the way.
The four videos below show you how to pronounce the sounds. Notice how the children don’t add an ‘uh’ sound at the end, so they say: ‘t’ not ‘tuh’. Use the downloadable information at the bottom of the page to help your child remember how to write their letters and say their sounds.
The videos below show how we teach your child specific aspects of phonics in class.
