At Stadhampton Primary School, phonics is taught to provide children with a strong foundation in reading and writing by helping them understand the relationship between sounds and letters. We ensure all children become confident, fluent readers and accurate spellers, developing the skills they need to access the full curriculum. Phonics is taught through a structured, systematic programme that introduces sounds in a logical sequence, reinforced through daily practice, blending and segmenting activities, and engaging reading materials. By mastering phonics, children gain the confidence and independence to decode new words, build vocabulary, and develop a lifelong love of reading and learning.
