Phonics and early reading
Phonics is used as the prime approach to teaching early reading. The Bug Club phonics program underpins our phonics teaching and the order in which we teach the sounds. However, we use a range of approaches to deliver lessons, such as activities from Letters and Sounds. Further details of phonics teaching and provision can be found below:

Grammar and Punctuation
This is often taught as a separate subject area. The link below explains some of the key areas of learning.
