First Steps in Phonics 19th September 2025 Pre-prep Our Reception children have begun their exciting journey into reading and writing as they start the Read Write Inc. phonics programme. This week they have been working hard to recognise and write their very first sounds: m, a, s, d, and t. The children have impressed us all with their enthusiasm and determination, showing real pride in their learning as they practise saying, reading, and writing each new sound. It’s wonderful to see their confidence growing as they take their first steps towards becoming independent readers and writers.
