Resources for parents

This section of our website is aimed at helping you as parents and carers to support your children in their learning.  We will place links here to useful documents and websites and also upload presentations and handouts from any workshops we run in school.  If you have any questions about the resources here or about how we approach learning within the school then please don’t hesitate to come and talk to your class teacher or make an appointment to see Mrs Miles.

Phonics

We follow the Monster Phonics systematic synthetic phonics programme. It is fun and highly multisensory, therefore all our learners can access and engage in phonics lessons. We teach phonics five times each week for 30 minutes to help children become confident and fluent readers. In addition to phonics lessons, we provide targeted intervention to support every child in making progress.

Spelling

Children begin to learn spelling through the Monster Phonics Scheme and then move onto the Spelling Shed scheme in Year 3. Children from Year 1 to Year 6 have a weekly test and can use spelling shed at home and in school to practise their words.

A copy of the latest Spelling Workshop is available for parents here.

Reading

While children are learning to read, we teach using Monster Phonics and books that are matched to their phonics stage and later onto a reading book band match to their level. Once children are confident readers, they move onto carefully selected free reading books.
