Supporting Learning in Reading

Reading for Pleasure and Enjoyment

At Westmeads, we follow the Essential Letters and Sounds Phonics programme, an approved programme from the Department for Education. Children take home two books from school. One of these books is carefully matched to their stage of development in phonics. This books is for practise and confidence building. They also take home a second book that they can choose from our in-class or whole school library. This book is to be the motivation and enthusiasm for reading!
