Reading Schemes
Linked with our new phonics scheme, Little Wandle, we have a new set of phonics books which we use as the scheme to teach reading in school. We use these in guided reading sessions in the afternoons, 3x a week with each class in Reception and KS1.
We also send Little Wandle books home as home-readers for Phases 2 and 3. From Phase 4, we have aligned our other reading scheme, Bug Club, with our new scheme. These have been carefully aligned to ensure progression alongside Little Wandle.
The Bug Club books move beyond the phonics stages and into KS2 as well, with a range of exciting fiction and non-fiction texts in place before children move into free-reading.
Once they are a free-reader, children can choose their own books, with some support and recommendations from their teachers. This is shown in the document below:
