Starks Field Primary School

Be The Best You Can Be helps our pupils learn the importance of our six core values: kindness, respect, tolerance, resilience, honesty and self-responsibility.

  1. Curriculum
  2. Phonics

Phonics

 

What is phonics?

Phonics is simply the system of relationships between letters and sounds in a language. When your child learns that the letter C has the sound of 'c' or your older child learns that 'tion' sounds like 'shun', they are learning phonics.

 Here at Starks Field Primary School we use the RWI (Read Write Inc) phonics programme.

 

Why is phonics important?

Learning phonics will help your children learn to read and spell. Written language can be compared to a code, so knowing the sounds of letters and letter combinations will help your child decode words as they read. Knowing phonics will also help your child know which letters to use as they write words.

Pupils will be learning about phonics from Nursery and will be improving their phonic understanding through their reading.

Workshops run throughout the year

At Starks Field we hold several phonics information sessions for parents throughout the year. These include a breakdown of what the screening check entails and some useful hints on how parents and carers can help at home.

  • Phonics Information Workshop - What is phonics and how can it support children's reading.
  • Read Write Inc (RWI) Workshop - What is RWI and how we use this as a teaching tool at Starks Field.
  • Phonics Breakfast Event for Year 1 pupils and families - How we teach phonics at Starks Field.
  • Phonics Screening Check Workshop - How to help your child at home to support their learning at school. 

 

Dates for these workshops will be sent out to you closer to the time. You can also speak to your child's class teacher if you would like any further information.
