Below, you will find our reading curriculum overview. This overview shares our vision for reading at our school, what the children will learn about in reading and phonics lessons, the end of year expectations for EYFS and Key Stage 1 and the enrichment opportunities that we provide in reading.

At Maidenbower Infant School and Nursery, we teach phonics right from the beginning. We use the validated phonics scheme 'Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised' to ensure high quality and consistent teaching of phonics and early reading for every child. Below you will find a link to the parent page of the Little Wandle website where you can find out more about how to support your child with phonics and early reading at home. 

All children at school have free access to the Collins e-books which work alongside our phonics programme in school. Your child's teacher will allocate them a phonics book to read that is suitable for their level of reading. Please ask your child's class teacher if you have not received the log in details.

Below, you will find tabs to a number of useful resources to support your child with their phonics and reading at home.
