At Moorsway Federation, reading is interwoven throughout all English lessons.
In EYFS and Year 1, children are taught to read using Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. Once children have completed the phonics programme, they progress on to the Little Wandle Fluency books in Year 2 until they are confident readers. From here, children are able to choose their own reading book from our school library with the support of their teacher.
In Years 2-6, children are taught reading through a Whole Class Reading Approach, using resources from Fred's Teaching. This involves reading a variety of extracts and whole texts to develop children's comprehension skills. Any children who have not successfully completed the phonics programme are taught using Little Wandle's Rapid Catch Up scheme.
Children are also exposed to a range of 'Texts That Teach' through our Book Writes programme for writing, and enjoy sharing a class story for pleasure with their teacher.
All of this is reflected in our reading progression documents.
