Phonics at Minchinhampton
At Minchinhampton Academy we teach your children phonics. Our approach to learning phonics in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 is by using the Phonics Bug approach . We also follow a kinaesthetic approach in Reception where children are given an action to help them learn each different sound. This is an effective and interactive way for young learners to recall phonemes. Please watch the following link for further support with pronunciation of
phonemes.
In our daily phonics sessions, we use games and resources to support our teaching of phonics. We aim to build pupils’ speaking and listening skills, as well as prepare pupils to learn to read, by developing their phonic knowledge and skills.
“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” — Frederick Douglass
“To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.” -Victor Hugo
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.”— Dr. Seuss
