Implementation 

Writing

• Text-led learning journeys with a clear end point, based on Power of Reading

• Opportunities to apply taught skills in other areas of the curriculum

Spelling

• Daily Phonics sessions throughout EYFS/KS1, following the Letters and Sounds programme. 

• Spelling is taught daily for 15 minutes throughout KS2, supplemented by additional focus on the Statutory Spelling Lists of each year group.

Handwriting

• Handwriting is taught throughout school following our handwriting policy on joining

• Handwriting is linked closely with Phonics and Spelling lessons, with teachers using discreet handwriting lessons when necessary

Reading

• Reading is taught through the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds programme in EYFS and KS1. Children read in a group three times weekly focusing on decoding, prosody and comprehension. In Year 2, children move away from Little Wandle and into reading fluency groups.
• Whole Class Reading is taught throughout KS2 with a focus on high quality texts and a progression of skills. 
• Accelerated Reader is used from Y2 upwards to support reading assessment and comprehension development.

Opportunities for curriculum adaptation and challenge, pre teaching and interventions for those children who may require it, including those with SEN, throughout a topic or prior to a new topic being taught
