Phonics
At Park Hall Academy, pupils from lower foundation to Year 1 (and any other beginner readers in the academy), are taught to read through the systematic, synthetic phonics program – FFT ‘Success For All Phonics’. It meets all the requirements of the National Curriculum and the EYFS framework and has been validated by the DfE. The program is carefully sequenced to ensure that learners ‘keep-up, not catch-up’ through the careful introduction and consolidation of sounds and how they look in print – known as GPC’s (grapheme/ phoneme correspondence).
In Year 2, pupils progress through Year 2 National Curriculum objectives for spelling, building seamlessly on from the taught phonics programme. This is again taught through FFT (Spelling with the Jungle Club) which is a rooted in theory and evidence based pedagogy.
Intent
- To systematically teach pupils the relationship between sounds (phonemes) and the written spelling patterns (graphemes) which represent them through the delivery of high quality, systematic synthetic phonics daily lessons.
- Early readers have reading materials matched to their phonic knowledge to assist them in practising and applying their current and prior knowledge.
- ongoing assessment to ensure that puils are supported on their reading journey in order to becomeconfident, fluent readers with a love ofreading.
- parents/ carers support their child’s reading journey through informed reading practice at home.

Shared Readers
These are a written set of decodable reading books that include a variety of genres, which are read within a structured daily teaching session in class. Look out on your child’s class dojo story each Monday as teachers will introduce the shared reader of the week – including the red and green words each book includes. Your child will bring home the shared reader for the whole week to ensure that they can apply their increasing phonic knowledge and increasingly read with fluency and confidence.
