At Brisbane Park Infant school we use systematic teaching of phonics to support the development of children’s reading and writing. Children will progress in their phonic development as they learn letters and the sounds they make to using and applying this knowledge to read and write words and later sentences. Children are given the opportunities to use and apply their phonic learning through a variety of games and activities both independently and with an adult. We base our phonics planning ’Little Wandle Scheme' in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. 
Intent
To recognise, say and write each phoneme within each phonics phase.
To be able to use phonic their phonic knowledge to blend and segment phonetically decodable words.
To use their phonic knowledge to be able to read and write words.
Implementation
to help ensure our intent is met we will:-
Provide a systematic approach to the teaching of phonics.
Provide daily lessons which follow the structure of a pacey phonics session – revisit, teach, apply and practise
Provide opportunities in the wider curriculum to embed phonics knowledge
Provide booster sessions for children identified as struggling with their phonics development.
Impact
evidence of successful implementation will be evident by:-
Children who are confident in phonics and are demonstrating skills through reading and writing.
Children who are confident with segmenting and blending.
End of phase assessment outcomes.
Successful Phonics Screening results in Year 1.

Planning is based on the Little Wandle Phonics scheme. Class teachers adapt lessons plans to meet the needs of individual children as required. Children are given the opportunity to revisit and apply knowledge throughout the structure of the lessons. Phonics takes place five times a week for 20 minute sessions.
Children are taught in their own classes for phonics sessions by their own class teacher. Senior Teaching Assistants provide support for identified children during phonics sessions and also take children for booster sessions as needed.
