Reading and Phonics

Elmwood Infant school is a diverse, multicultural, and inclusive school, reflecting the pupils and families we serve. 

We believe that all our children can become fluent readers and writers. This is why we teach reading through Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, which is a systematic and synthetic phonics program. We start teaching phonics in Nursery and follow the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised progression, which ensures children build on their growing knowledge of the alphabetic code, mastering phonics to read as they move through school.

Further information on the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised scheme for parents can be found on their website.
