Phonics and Reading in Nursery and Reception

Whilst at Brodetsky we follow the Letters and Sounds scheme of work for phonics. We use other schemes of work to supplement the resources which we already have in school. Children will be taught their initial letter sounds using the Jolly Phonics picture and action. For diagraphs and all further graphemes (Letters and Sounds phases 3 – 5) we use the Read Write Inc picture and rhyme.

In Reception we predominantly use the Read Write Inc reading scheme with some added Oxford Reading Tree books. The reading schemes are used until the children have learnt all their sounds and are ready for the banded reading books.

LK in Reception

Reception have a single dedicated member of LK staff all afternoon. During the afternoon session there will be an LK input, small group LK activities and chance for the children to take their LK learning further through independent play and play initiated by the staff. In Reception, as part of their Mock Seder, the children are presented with their first Haggadah which we hope they use with their families at their own Seder tables.

In all EYFS classes, many LK themes are continued and taught through secular studies with careful planning across both departments.
