At Emscote Infant School we use a government approved Synthetic Systematic Phonics (SSP) programme called Little Wandle. The children start learning sounds from the start of their time in Reception.The sounds that the children are learning each week are shown on Padlet for year groups. The following documents show the ideal progression of the programme along with supporting material to help with saying the sounds and explaining the range of sounds the children learn throughout Reception and Key Stage 1.

Support for Parents and Carers

You will see documents below to support at home. Please also visit the Little Wandle web pages where you will find resources to support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. There are also some useful videos so you can see how they are taught at school and feel confident about supporting their reading at home. Click here Little Wandle for Parents
