At Wyndham Park we have recently invested in a new phonics scheme and the reading books that support this. This means the children in Reception and Year 1 are reading books that are now matched to the teaching and learning that takes place in class each week. These books help to reinforce the sounds that are taught in class and by over-learning the sound by seeing it, hearing it, saying it and reading it, their confidence and sound recognition builds in a very positive way. Repetition of the same book has been proven, through educational research supported by the Department for Education, to be instrumental in securing improved reading skills for children which then supports every area of learning across the curriculum.
