Reading/Phonics Support
Our phonics programme supports students in learning and developing their knowledge of sounds, diagraphs and formation of words. It will require young people to engage for at least 4 sessions per week for either 30 minutes, or 1 hour to ensure that the required progress can be made. It will focus on everyday challenging words, flash card sounds, key words and then the reading of a text. Young people will then develop their skills by using the sounds and words that they have learnt that week in a sentence. Baselines and assessments every 4 weeks will monitor progress and young people.
