Reading and Phonics
“When we pray we speak to God; but when we read, God speaks to us.” - St. Jerome, Patron Saint of Reading
At Saint Augustine's, we recognise the huge impact that reading can have on the lives of our children. Daily reading, in the classroom and at home, is actively encouraged and children are supported with their learning in a multitude of ways.
Starting with the 'Little Wandle Letters and Sounds' programme, children are taught skills of decoding and blending sounds together to form words. Using words games and rhymes, Little Wandle ensures that children build on their growing knowledge of the alphabetic code, mastering phonics to read and spell as they move through the school.
For more information about reading at our school, take a look at the English page.

Today Mr Liddle led a phonics workshop for parents in Reception and Year one. Parents learnt about our Little Wandle phonics scheme, how to say sounds at home and how to help your child read. Children joined parents with reading books to out into action!
