Phonics
 
All children in Early Years and Year 1 are taught phonics daily for 30 minutes in order to develop their ability to decode texts by reading written words. At Upperwood Academy we use the Read Write Inc phonic scheme. Children in Year 2 and above requiring additional support with their phonics also access phonics teaching daily.
 
Early readers are taught:
  •   grapheme‒phoneme correspondences (the sound that is made by the written version of a letter or group of letters) in a clearly defined, incremental sequence
  •   to blend sounds in order all through a word to read it
  •  to segment words into their constituent phonemes for spelling
 
Teachers follow a carefully designed curriculum which teaches all word knowledge and skills in the Alphabetic Code. Children are taught in groups according to their phonic knowledge and their ability to read words. The groups are flexible and led by both Teachers and Teaching Assistants.
All lessons follow a defined structure using Read Write Inc planning. All staff undertake training to deliver phonics. Phonics Assessments are undertaken by the Phonics Coordinator on a 7 weekly basis.
Your child will be provided with a reading book which they will be able to decode using their current level of phonic knowledge. We encourage this to be read and re-read at home to develop their reading fluency. Your child can change this book in their classroom every few days. 
THESE ARE THE SOUNDS WE TEACH IN ORDER
