Children from Reception to KS1 are provided with a reading book from a range of reading schemes that have been chosen to complement the synthetic phonic programme (Letters and Sounds) that operates in school. This reading scheme is a phonetically decodable scheme which is now recommended as the prime method of teaching early reading skills. In addition, children in KS1 will also supplement this with a book chosen by the child from the school library. This will enable children to engage in the Accelerated Reader scheme as they progress through it, using Oxford Reading Tree books.
