Literacy

Llenyddiaeth/Literacy

To teach reading, we use the Read Write Inc scheme by Ruth Miskin. Your child will practise reading their book and speed sounds each day in school with either Miss Wallace or Mrs Shakespeare who is the leader of their group. If you would like to help your child to learn their speed sounds then you can download the set 2 and set 3 sounds below.

Literacy sessions

To teach a range of Literacy genres, we teach 2 week units that are linked to our current topic. We begin the unit with a hook such as a story book, video or exciting event. Throughout the unit the children will learn about the features of the text type, subject specific vocabulary, grammar and punctuation. The children show their understanding at the end of the unit by planning and publishing their final writing piece. We also have a spelling session every afternoon to practise and apply the sounds taught in Read Write Inc.
