This section outlines the phonics and reading schemes that we use in Year Four.
Those children who require a reading intervention are taught following the 'Essential Letters + Sounds' scheme of work. This is a government approved synthetic phonics programme that has its own linked reading scheme. We are still providing books to read at home for depth alongside phonics linked books, where appropriate.
Our home and guided reading books are a mixture of schemes, including: Oxford Reading Tree, Rigby Rocket, Big Cat and Planet X. This is the colour band system we follow:
Pink
Red
Yellow
Blue
Green
Orange
