Reading and Phonics
At EVPS we encourage children to have a love of books. We use a range of different reading schemes, including some phonics based schemes.
Children have a daily phonics lesson from Foundation through KS1 and if necessary in early KS2. We base these lessons on the Letters and Sounds publication, ensuring children are secure in each phase before moving on to the next.
Children have opportunities to read every day and it is expected that this will also be supported at home. Guided reading is regularly carried out, enabling other important reading skills to be developed alongside phonic knowledge.
We also use Bug Club, an online reading scheme that enables pupils to answer questions about the books that they have read, thus developing their comprehension skills.
The use of reading diaries to record reading is part of the homework asked of pupils, becoming more independent as they work through the school: so that by the time they are in the upper part of KS2, they are expected to be recording their reading and their understanding of the texts they have read independently.
