Phonics
At Park Hall Academy we use a systematic phonics programme called ‘Letters and Sounds’. Letters and Sounds is divided into six phases, with each phase building on the skills and knowledge of previous learning. Children have time to practise and rapidly expand their ability to read and spell words. They are also taught to read and spell ‘quick words’, which are words with spellings that are unusual.
Below you will find a range of information videos and resources to help you to continue your child’s phonic learning journey at home. It is vital that we work in partnership to enable your child to become a confident, competent and fluent reader by practising reading at home daily, learning ‘key-ring’ words and talking with your child about what they have read.
