Phonics & Early Reading
PHONICS & EARLY READING
From The Starting Point
At Mayfield Primary School we strive to ensure that all of our children become successful, fluent readers by the end of Key Stage One and believe this is achievable through a combination of strong, high quality, discrete phonics teaching combined with a whole language approach that promotes a ‘Reading for Pleasure’ culture. We aim for all of the children at Mayfield, to leave school at the end of Key Stage 2 with a genuine passion for reading and to have obtained all of the skills they need to tackle any book of their choosing
