Phonics
Phonics is a way to teach pupils the relationship between written and spoken English, which helps them learn to read and write. Through phonics, pupils learn that words can be broken down into individual sounds known as ‘phonemes’, which can be represented in writing using groups of letters called ‘graphemes’. Phonics at Hullavington is taught using the DFE validated Twinkl Phonics programme. Twinkl Phonics is a complete systematic synthetic phonics programme which is taught in Nursery, Reception and Key Stage One.
