Key Stage 1 Phonics and Reading Schemes
At Newlands Spring Primary School we recognise the importance of phonics teaching and learning. We follow the Letters and Sounds document as a basis for our phonics curriculum.
For reading, we use the Oxford Reading Tree scheme of work. The books in this scheme include a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts which are divided using the book banding scheme. Once children are secure readers they can then access extended chapter books which are suitable for their reading ability.
The series of booklets and workshop presentations below have been produced by the teachers of Newlands Spring to help you support your child at home with their reading, writing and phonics. A list of suggested reading books for Key Stage 2 has also been complied for you to support your child.
