Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised has been built around the update (Letters and Sounds improving rates of progress 2021)

The complete phonics programme draws on the latest research into how children learn best; how to ensure learning stays in children’s long term memory and how best to enable children to apply their learning to become highly competent readers.

You can find lots of information here about the programme, as well as useful videos to support reading at home with your child.

In Reception and Year 1, your child will be taught phonics every day. They will also take part in three Reading Practice sessions during the week, within small groups. These practice sessions will focus on fluency, expression and comprehension. At the end of the week, the children will be given the same book to read at home, allowing them to show-off their new skills and share confidently with another adult. 

From November, we will be able to send home physical copies of the reading books - thanks to an incredibly kind donation of money for books. Each Little Wandle book costs around £5, so it is important they are well cared for when taken home. 

The children will also have access to online versions of the books, which can be read on a tablet or laptop. You can access them here using the login we have provided.
