At Wootton Lower School we teach phonics using the Read, Write Inc. programme created by Ruth Miskin which is in line with the National Curriculum. This is predominately for children in Foundation to Year 2, however, we also use this scheme to support our children further up the school when required. Children are assessed every half term and then grouped according to their phonic knowledge in small homogeneous groups to ensure the quality teaching of phonics. Children will receive supporting reading books - often referred to as 'banded' reading books each day.
