At Verwood C of E First School and Nursery we believe that the teaching of phonics underpins and is intricately linked to early reading and writing in the Foundation stage and Key Stage 1. We aim to provide high quality and systematic synthetic phonic teaching, to equip children with the skills needed to become fluent readers and confident writers. In our pursuit to ensure all children achieve this, we have adopted the Read Write Inc. phonics scheme of work and will teach the phonics and reading element of this programme.L
