At St Clare’s we use the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds programme to teach early reading.  The long term plans for EYFS and year 1 are below.

As pupils move beyond phonics, we teach the further reading skills of wider decoding skills, comprehension and responding to the text.

These are all mapped out and a long term plan can be found below.

Spelling is rigorously taught using the No Nonsense Spelling programme.  The long term plan for this is below.
