Phonics

Phonics Curriculum

At Dane Bank Primary School, we follow the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revisedprogramme from Early Years through Key Stage One.

Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised is a complete systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP) developed for schools by schools. Based on the original Letters and Sounds, but extensively revised to provide a complete teaching programme meeting all the expectations of the National Curriculum, the Ofsted Deep Dive into reading and preparing your children to go beyond the expectations of the Phonics Screening Check.
