We follow the teaching and learning sequence designed by the accredited DfE scheme
‘Floppy’s Phonics’.
​
This is a progressive and cumulative programme of teaching of the alphabetic code.
We teach:
-
​Sounding out and blending for reading
-
Identifying sounds in words and matching to letters for spelling
-
Letter formation for handwriting
​
​
These are the building blocks needed for early learning and which provide the foundation for all reading and writing within English and across the wider curriculum.​ All EYFS and KS1 classrooms will display the Floppy's Phonics alphabetic code as well as the Floppy's Phonics sound posters and friezes appropriate to learning.​
​
Children begin by using their phonic learning to read fully decodable Floppy’s Phonic books, eventually leading into to our follow-on reading scheme ‘Oxford Reading Tree’, which includes highly decodable books initially and leads to wider reading of real texts in KS2.​
