Phonics at Rushy Green - Little Wandle
At Rushey Green, we use the DfE recommended scheme ‘Little Wandle’ to introduce reading and phonics to our children. This initially focuses on sounds around us and then moves on to introducing letter sounds (phonemes) which are represented by letters (graphemes).
There are resources to help support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. There are also some useful videos so you can see how they are taught at school and feel confident about supporting their reading at home.
Make sure to refer to the programme overview from Reception to Year 1 so you can stay aligned with the progression of knowledge and skills children are learning in school.
