Little Wandle Letters and Sounds

We have just signed up to an exciting new  phonics programme to support our phonics learning at school.  It's called "Little Wandle Letters and Sounds".  It's very similar to what we have been doing over the last few years but has lots of exciting resources. 

Your child will be using this new system from Spring 2 2022.

Look here for the " Little Wandle" parents page, there are some really useful videos showing you how we teach phonics but also some great videos to help you support your child at home.

Here is a pdf all about phonics and early reading, how we teach it and how you can help.

Pronunciation of Sounds 

We know how hard it is to support the work we do in school when you are slightly unsure about how we teach things.  Here, we have some brilliant videos showing you exactly how we pronounce each individual sound. 

They are organised in the same order that we teach them.
