Visit our Phonics page for guidance, resources and support

Click here to visit our Sacred Heart Phonics page, where you can find all of our guides, resources and curriculum documents to support your child's learning. Please ask your child's class teacher if you need further resources or guidance: we want to support your child's learning at home as much as we can, as well as what we do to support Phonics learning in school.

What is Phonics?

Phonics is a way of teaching children to read quickly and fluently.

Children are taught how to:

• recognise the sounds that each individual letter makes.
• identify the sounds that different combinations of letters make – such as ‘oo’.
• blend these sounds together from left to right to make a word.

The aim of this page is to give you a clear picture of how we approach the teaching of phonics and word recognition and how, as a parent or carer, you can support and encourage your child at home. For guidance on how to support your child at home, please visit the Helping Your Child to Read at Home link.
