Phonics

At Orion Mead Road we teach children to read and spell using the Read Write Inc Phonics Programme. This programme ensures that the children revisit sounds that are taught continuously. Children are given opportunities to embed their learning throughout the week by applying their phonic knowledge in their reading and writing. 

Children are taught daily within small, differentiated learning groups and there is flexibility for children to access groups within different classes, according to need and ability.  Assessment is rigorous to ensure that all children make good progress across the school. 

Please see below the PowerPoint from Mrs Viljoen's parent workshop in which she explains how we teach phonic at Mead Road and how you can support your child with their phonics learning at home:
