Phonics & Reading
Phonics
At Lancaster Lane Primary and Pre-School, we take phonics education seriously and are dedicated to ensuring that our students develop strong foundational literacy skills. We use the Red Rose Phonics scheme as our primary phonics programme. This comprehensive system is carefully designed to support students in learning the relationship between sounds and letters in the English language.
To ensure the best possible outcomes for our students, we make sure that all staff members who work with students in EYFS, KS1, and KS2 have undergone phonics training. This training equips our teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to teach phonics effectively, allowing them to support students in mastering the fundamentals of reading and writing.
We believe that by providing high-quality phonics education, we are helping our students to develop strong literacy skills that will serve them well throughout their academic career and beyond. We are committed to supporting our students in becoming confident and competent readers, writers, and communicators, and phonics education is a vital part of achieving that goal.
