Phonics

Marshgate Primary School teaches a program of synthetic phonics to enable children to begin to read and write. Daily phonics lessons are taught in Reception and year 1 classes but underpin all the principles of reading throughout the school.

When children have English as an additional language, they are also taught reading through the phonics program. When practised at home as well as in school, children soon have the skills that they need to begin reading confidently.
