Phonics

Our school phonics scheme is: Twinkl Phonics

We are currently learning our level 5 sounds. Alongside learning the new sounds, we are practising level 2,3 and 4 sounds and tricky words. Please note there are no new ‘sounds’ within level 4, however children do practise reading adjacent consonants. Children need to be confident in recognising all level 2,3,4 and 5 sounds and tricky words to support their reading as well as use these sounds and tricky words within their writing.
