Our learners experience every opportunity to develop literacy and communication skills through access to a wide range of written, audio and visual material to stimulate their early reading and listening skills and encourage recognition of key sounds, letters and spellings, making an early start on learning new technical vocabulary essential later on in school.

Using our daily phonics lessons, weekly book bundles and weekly key texts, we teach the reception learners the reading skills that will get them on the road to independent reading with lasting impact. Opportunities for writing for different purposes will be given within role-play, outdoor play sessions, writing tables and reading corners.
