Phonics
Here at Littletown we have two teaching schemes which we use for early reading.
The first is 'Letters and Sounds'. This is a phonics resource publised by the Department for Education and Skills in 2007. It sets out a detailed and systematic programme for teaching phonic skills for children starting by the age of five, with the aim of them becoming fluent readers by age seven.

The second is the 'Oxford Reading Tree Scheme'. Again a phonic based teaching program based around the well loved characters Biff, Chip, Kipper and Floppy - to mention but a few.
