Phonics

At Riverbridge we use Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised to teach phonics. Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised is a systematic synthetic phonics scheme based on the original Letters and Sounds programme. Teaching of phonics begins in the foundation stage and strategies for learning phonics are applied consistently throughout the school to support children. There are clear keep up strategies to support children who are identified as requiring additional support to ensure they do not fall behind with their phonics learning. 

For information about what is taught in each phase of letters and sounds please see the Programme Overview document below.

There are also useful videos below to help with supporting your child at home as well as a link to the parents’ page on the Little Wandle website.
