Phonics
In year one all children will take part in an assessment called the Y1 phonics screening check. This will take place in the summer term. It is important that children are practising their phonics, including spelling, to help them prepare for this and also to help their reading.
In the autumn term we will be focusing on reading and spelling words containing the following sounds:
