At The Chiltern School, our reading programme has two stages: Stage 1: Pre-Phonics and Stage 2: Phonics.
All pupils begin with a baseline assessment at Stage 1. Progression to Stage 2 is based on secure, consistent and evidenced development across all seven aspects of pre-phonics, ensuring pupils have the foundations needed to access phonics successfully.
We use Read Write Inc. to deliver systematic phonics teaching, adapted to pupils’ individual needs and incorporating multisensory approaches where appropriate.
Once pupils have completed the Read Write Inc. programme, they may undertake a reading comprehension assessment to identify next steps in reading fluency, comprehension and wider literacy development.
