How We Can Help
1
Reading Foundations
Building secure foundations for reading
Phonics provides the foundations children need to become successful readers. We support children in developing their understanding of sounds, blending and decoding, helping them read unfamiliar words with increasing confidence. Through carefully planned activities and targeted practice, we help children secure the skills they need to become independent readers.
2
Reading Fluency
Helping children read with confidence
Once children can decode words, the next step is developing fluency. We help children improve their accuracy, expression and reading pace, allowing them to focus more on understanding and enjoying what they read. Through regular practice with carefully chosen texts, children develop the confidence to become more fluent readers.
3
Early Reading Comprehension
Developing understanding and a love of reading
Reading is about more than saying the words on the page. We help children develop vocabulary, understanding and comprehension skills from an early age, encouraging them to talk about texts, explain their ideas and make connections between what they read and the world around them.
