Phonics and Early Reading at Etwall Primary School

📚 Reading underpins everything – it really is that simple. That’s why, here at Etwall, we are proud to be a Little Wandle school.

🔤 Little Wandle is a systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP) that gives us a clear and consistent pathway for teaching phonics and supporting early reading development. It helps children build strong foundations so they can become confident, fluent readers.

🏡 Supporting learning at home is just as important. On this page, you’ll find a range of helpful resources and guidance to support phonics and early reading with your child.

 

 📖 For more information, including how phonics links with the rest of the English curriculum, please visit our English page.

 

 

✏️ We use ‘Grow the Code’ to support early spelling, helping children understand how sounds link to letters and become confident writers.
