Phonics and Reading
Reading
At Deeplish Primary Academy, all staff recognise the importance of reading, whether it be reading for pleasure or to enable children to fully access all aspects of the curriculum.
The curriculum offer is driven by high quality texts. See our curriculum page to see what texts we use.
Accelerated Reader
At Deeplish, one of the ways we ensure that children read the correct level of book, is through the Accelerated Reader programme. This also encourages the children to read frequently, to develop their love of reading.
The counter below shows how many books and words the children have read in a month.
Vocabulary
Phonics
We place a clear emphasis on the teaching of phonics and we base our phonics teaching on Read Write Inc. (RWI). If you would like to read how we organise the teaching of phonics read the document below.
If you would like to practice the sounds that the children are taught in school or find out more information about RWI you can click on the link below which will take you to a video of all the sounds as well as further information.
You can also watch the video below which will give you an overview of Read Write Inc.
