Reading and phonics with your child
At Bennerley Fields we believe that all our pupils can become fluent readers and writers. This is why we teach reading through Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, which is a systematic and synthetic phonics programme. When we start teaching phonics we follow the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised progression, which ensures pupils build on their growing knowledge of the alphabetic code, mastering phonics to read and spell as they move through school. Alongside Phonics, we promote a love of reading by providing pupils with the opportunity to access our school library as well as organising trips to the local library. Sensory stories and massage stories are explored by our complex learners. We also ensure our curriculum is built upon high quality texts to engage the students.
