At Beckfoot Allerton, we use the Ruth Miskin ‘Read Write Inc’ scheme for teaching phonics. This is a government approved scheme and is renowned for achieving excellent results. From the moment children start school in reception (and even in our nursery) children are assessed on a 1:1 basis and then put into homogenous groups so that each child is working on just the right level for their ability. Children are then taught daily phonics lessons in their small group. Each lesson features learning sounds, blending, word reading and then children will complete tasks in their ‘Get Writing’ book. Every six weeks, children are re-assessed and new groups are formed. In Year 1 and Year 2 we have tutors who work with any child who needs extra support.
Families can also support at home with phonics. Each week, children bring home three books – a book that is linked to the one currently being read in school for comprehension practice, the book that was read last week to practice sounds being learned and a book from a previous level to practice fluency. We run workshops for families throughout the year to help you with phonics and reading at home, and we welcome you to watch us teach your child phonics in school too!
