Phonics
Welcome to our Phonics page
What are the children going to learn?
At Oasis Academy Bank Leaze, children learn phonics throughout Early Years and KS1. It is taught daily, in short sessions so that children build up and practice the skills they need to use in reading and writing. Practising the sounds correctly is really important!
Click the link below to watch a video which shows you how to say all the sounds that we work on with the children.
At Oasis Academy Bank Leaze we follow the Letters and Sounds programme. See the link below to look at the guidance. Your class teacher will be happy to advise which phase your child is working within. Children move to a new phase when they can confidently read and write using these sounds.
Alongside 'Letters and Sounds' we also use Jolly Phonics actions to teach the individual sounds. The video below is an example of one of our virtual Covid-19 phonics lessons by one of our EYFS teachers.
