Phonics
Being able to read well is a fundamental skill for accessing all areas of the curriculum and is an essential life skill which has far reaching implications for lifelong learning and well-being. At Scotton Lingerfield, we prioritise phonics and reading from the moment children start school. We want to develop a love of reading in all children.
Research shows that when phonics is taught in a structured systematic way, it is the most effective way of teaching children to read.
