Reading Scheme
At Cranbrook we develop phonics and early reading skills using TWINKL Phonics. Teachers assess phonics using rigorous assessments to ensure children are developing their segmenting, blending, and decoding skills. All 1-1 reading books across the school from EYFS-Year 6 are closely matched to our phonics scheme using Collins BigCat books and Rhino Readers. These books will be selected to match the pupils current phonics level in EYFS and KS1 and their reading level in KS2. We also use Dandelion Launchers books for some of our beginner and reluctant readers which are also matched closely to our phonics scheme. These books have been selected as they build a child’s self-esteem and encourage confidence in independent reading. These books provide practice whilst offering different stories. Each unit introduces new letters/sounds while revising previously taught phonic letters/sounds and high-frequency or sight words. Across the school we promote and encourage children to select an additional reading for pleasure text from the classroom library.
