At Chandos, we use Little Wandle Letters and Sounds to teach children how to learn to read.
In our Nursery, we follow 'Foundations in Phonics', so that children are ready to start formal phonics sessions when they start Reception.
We have daily small group sessions called 'Rhyme Time' and 'Sounds Time'. In these sessions, children will be taught to:
Listen carefully to sounds and describe them
Recognise and make rhymes
Identify syllables within words
Understand alliteration
Orally blend and segment
Join in and recite nursery rhymes
Our inside and outside environment is designed to make children confident communicators. This includes rapidly learning new vocabulary and appropriate grammatical structures. Children will also learn how to take turns in a conversation.
In Nursery, we strive to foster a love of books and reading with all children.
Below are some resources that parents can use at home to support their children to be ready to start formal phonics sessions when they start Reception.
PARENT WORKSHOPS
PARENT WORKSHOPS
In the term your child starts Nursery, you will be invited to a workshop to explain fully how Foundations for Phonics works and how you can help at home.
You will also support your child to pick their first school library book to share with them at home. These books can be changed weekly.
