Phonics and  Early Reading

The Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised phonics programme is taught at Pinkwell because it offers a clear, consistent, and effective approach to early reading. Designed using the latest research in phonics and reading development, Little Wandle ensures that every child learns to decode words confidently and quickly. The programme is carefully structured to introduce sounds in a logical order, with plenty of practice to help children blend sounds, read words, and build fluency.

A major strength of Little Wandle is its focus on inclusion and support for all learners. Daily lessons follow a consistent format, so children know what to expect and can focus on developing their skills. Regular assessments help us identify any children who need extra support, and timely intervention ensures that no one falls behind. Alongside phonics teaching, children read fully decodable books matched exactly to the sounds they've been taught, helping them grow in confidence and enjoy success right from the start. With Little Wandle, we are giving every child the tools they need to become a happy, fluent reader.
