Reading and Phonics 

The teaching of English is one that is designed to instil in children a love of speaking and

listening, reading, and writing that will last them a lifetime. It is paramount for us at Nether

Green Infant School that our children are given the key skills in English to enable them to

access material in all curriculum areas and provide them with a foundation for their learning

throughout their school journey. To achieve this, we pride ourselves on making English

interesting and exciting, engaging the pupils with the joy and wonder of books and piquing

their imagination and creativity.

Phonics

We use a scheme called Read Write Inc to support our teaching in Phonics. 

Reading

Our reading books link into our phonics scheme. The children progress through a range of

colour banded books which match the phonics stage they are working at. 

Books are sent home for children to practise and consolidate what they have been taught in

school.
