Phonics

At Horndale Infant and Nursery School we teach phonics through daily “Read Write Inc” lessons. These lessons focus on teaching children to decode the sounds they meet in the English language, blend these to form words and then apply these skills to read a variety of interesting books to encourage fluency and comprehension. Lessons are taught in small groups, where all the children are at the same reading stage.  This ensures that they are able to access texts that meet their individual needs, allowing them to develop as confident and fluent readers.  Assessment is thorough and effective, allowing us to provide one-to-one tutoring and ensure that no child is left behind.  Therefore, children are meticulously supported on their learning journey and can share their learning with parents and carers at home. All reading books match directly to the sounds that children know, so they quickly become independent readers.
