Our FFT Phonics:

FFT Phonics is a systematic phonics programme used in our school to teach children how to read and write. It teaches children the sounds (phonemes) and the letters that represent them (graphemes).

 

We check:

  • Can they recognise the sounds?

  • Can they blend sounds to read words?

  • Can they segment sounds to spell words?

 

How you can help at home:

  • Practise reading school books.

  • Play “What’s the word?” blending games.

  • Spot sounds within books.

  • Encourage writing simple words.

 

This helps us support the children in the most appropriate way so that we can give them the best possible learning.

 

 

Please see below what we use to teach the children and feel free to use them at home!
