Letters & Sounds - a note for parents and guardians

Letters & Sounds is a phonic programme used in school daily. It helps your child to recognise letters, their sounds and builds up various sound combinations to help decode words.

We encourage children to read at least 4 times a week at home using their phonic knowledge to build up words, which also helps with spelling.
Below are some recommended websites for your child to play games and practice their phonic recognition. This also includes 'non-words' or 'pseudo words' for your child to sound out. These will be included in the Year 1 phonics screening check, a new government reading test. More information will be given about this in the Spring term from the school.


Please remember - children are also expected to understand what they read and what is read to them. This includes questions which talk about what has happenned, could happen next, how a situation has occured, how a character feels and explaining their answer, why and how they know. Children do not always have to read the scheme book from school every day. It could be a book from home they read or, for comprehension questions and understanding, have read to them.
