In Year Reception - Year 6 Your child will have 3 - 5 reading books as a minimum per week
Book 1/ 2 - will be a reading book(s) that practises the exact grapheme-phoneme correspondences that they have just been taught by their teacher that week - sent home on Friday.
Book 3 / 4 - Fluency book - an easier book (lower band) to encourage quick, fluent reading to allow focus on comprehension skills to build up. We have question cards for your children linked to our VIPERS in class.

Our Reading scheme with well matched sounds
What if your child is struggling and needs more help beyond the Letters and Sound books?
If you child needs more practise at a set of sounds and has completed the schools phonic scheme books we will enhance their fluency and experience through catch up interventions and memory skills. This is an approved government phonics scheme. This will be only used as an extension when required. You will see the same teaching sequence as letters and sounds making it compatible.
