Early Reading and Phonics
Phonics
Our approach to phonics is 'Supersonic Phonic Friends.' We have used this since June 2022 and it has transformed phonics in our school. This programme is a DFE Approved, fully systematic, synthetic phonic approach ranging from the simple to the complex spellings of the alphabetic code. Supported by their Supersonic Phonic friends, this approach will ensure children develop confidence and apply each skill to their own reading and writing.
The benefits of this approach include:
- Active engagement at all times ensuring every session is maximised, making every minute count. Fun and physical indoor and outdoors and so much more...
- Supersonic Phonic Friends fully meets the DFE’s 16 Essential Core Criteria. It ensures commitment, consistent, creative quality first teaching of phonics across all key stages.
- Injecting new life into phonics. Exciting, engaging and brain friendly phonics made simple and easy for teachers and children.
-Supersonic Phonic Friends has parent workshops, activities and weekly parent newsletters for all the phases to support and carry on learning at home learning.

From Year 3, we continue to explore grapheme phoneme correspondence all the way up to Year 6 with a systematic approach to building on the firm foundations from our Supersonic Phonics Programme. From year 3, children will access daily spelling sessions based on No Nonsense Spelling but tailored to our unique context.
