Phonics and Early Reading Lead: Miss E Knobbs

Our phonics scheme is 'Supersonic Phonic Friends', a scheme wrapped in rhyme and alliteration to promote future fluency as well as teaching children to read, spell and write.

This programme is a fully systematic, synthetic phonic approach ranging from the simple to the complex spellings of the alphabetic code. Supported by their Supersonic Phonic friends, this approach will ensure children learn the keys to unlock the code and develop confidence to use and apply their phonic knowledge and skills to reading and writing.

 

The benefits of the Supersonic Phonic Friends approach include:

– Active engagement at all times ensuring every session is maximised, making every minute count. Fun and physical, active learning throughout the session.

– Supersonic Phonic Friends fully meets the DFE’s 16 Essential Core Criteria. It ensures commitment, consistent, creative quality first teaching of phonics across all key stages.

– Injecting new life into phonics. Exciting, engaging and brain friendly phonics made simple and easy for teachers and children.

- Supersonic Phonic Friends provides 'Learning Leaflets' for parents and children to use at home, to support what the children have been learning at school.
