Early Reading

In Nursery we teach pre-reading skills using the Little Wandle Foundations for Phonics programme. Our aim is to ensure that the children are well prepared to begin more systematic phonics teaching at the start of Reception.

Currently, your child is participating in a variety of activities that are aimed to develop focused listening and attention skills. These are fundamental to developing an awareness of sound. As well as our weekly rhymes, we are also playing daily ‘tuning into sound’ games. Children will be introduced to a letter sound each week. This half-term, we will be covering v,w,y,z,qu,ch.  At this stage we only introduce the sounds, not their associated letters. Formal letter/sound correspondences are taught in Reception.

Donations

We are looking at extending our Home Role Play Area  – we are looking for donations of old pots, pans, kitchen utencils, artifical plants and flowers, dressing up hats, handbags, children magazines, note books and phones. If you can think of anything else that you think the children may enjoy, please bring it in!  Thank you in advance.

Up and Coming Nursery Events
