ENGLISH INTENT STATEMENT

To promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong command of the spoken and written word, and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment.

To foster a love of language that will support and develop children’s understanding of the world and their place within it.  To give them the power of voice to share thoughts, opinions and ideas effectively with peers and the wider community.

 
PHONICS
 

At Fowlmere Primary School we use Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revisited for the teaching of phonics and early reading. Phonics is taught in Reception and Year 1 at the start of the day. 

We use decodable Little Wandle reading books for our reading sessions in Reception and Year 1 and in Year 2 children will soon be reading Little Wandle Fluency books. Children read the books in the 3 weekly sessions and take the book home on Friday to read at home.
