Key Stage 1 reading and phonics schemes

The children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 follow the Read Write Inc. phonics scheme.  They are assessed half termly and work through the program at a speed appropriate for them.  Children in Key Stage 2 can remain on the program to support their reading development.

We use a breadth of reading material in KS1. 

• Oxford Reading Tree ( mainly as home readers)
• Read write Inc phonically decodable books (Reading Intervention and Early Reading skills)
• The Bug Club books phonically decodable
• Rigby Starr phonically decodable books.
• There are also a series of  guided read books which are from a variety of publishers, mainly Collins Big Cat.

All books are book banded depending on the children’s reading age and ability.
