English

Not all our children will access a phonics learning programme to develop their reading. However, many of our children will and do access this in school. As part of our school phonics learning, we follow the Read, Write, Inc programme which you can find online here at www.ruthmiskin.com . There are daily phonics sessions taking place through their YouTube channel which you can all access as and when is appropriate. These can be found here: Link 
 
Some of the e-books available on the Oxford Owl website are excellent to share at home. These can be found here: www.oxfordowl.co.uk . 
 
For many of our children, sensory stories are a fantastic way for families to share stories. These can be done at home with whatever materials you have around the house. For advice and guidance, a great website to use is www.bagbooks.org .
