Phonics
Phonics Information
As a school we have adopted ‘Supersonic Phonics Friends’, to support us with the teaching of systematic synthetic phonics. This ensures a consistent approach across early years and Key Stage 1. ‘Supersonic Phonic Friends’ is based on the well-recognised ‘Letters and Sounds’. Supersonic Phonic Friends is a child friendly programme with a multisensory approach to the teaching of phonics, which allows children to be interactive during lessons as they progress through each phase. This helps them to maintain a love for learning to read. It uses friendly characters to help children to recognise the steps in teaching and become excited by the learning that each character wants them to do. Below represents the structure of Supersonic Phonics Programme. (See Supersonic Friends Page for more information)
