Phonics
We use the DfES Letters and Sounds scheme to teach phonics at Round Diamond.
It recommends high quality play activities which typify good provision and will offer lots of
opportunities to enrich children’s language across the six areas of learning:
■ Personal, Social and Emotional Development
■ Communication, Language and Literacy
■ Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy
■ Knowledge and Understanding of the World
■ Physical Development
■ Creative Development
Reading Schemes at RD
We use a range of publishers at RD to ensure children experience a variety of texts.
e.g. Oxford Reading Tree
Biff, Chip and Kipper are loved by millions of children and are frequently ranked in the top ten of children's favourite characters.
Created by Roderick Hunt and Alex Brychta, these stories are guaranteed to hook your children into reading as they follow Biff, Chip and Kipper on their magical adventures. Not only that, they perfectly matched to the 2014 National Curriculum too!
