Reading and Phonics
We want to help all our children to be successful readers who love reading.
We hope that the information on this page will help you to understand our approach to reading and phonics, and give you ideas for how you can help at home.
If you have any questions about reading or phonics at Buckingham Park, please speak to your child's class teacher to make an appointment to see a member of staff through the school office.

Jolly Phonic Songs
All the songs which introduce the phonemes (sounds). They are all there, in the order that we introduce them to the children. Now you can sing along at home! |
Articulation of Phonemes
A simple video which shows the pronunciation for each of the phonemes (sounds) in the English language. These 'pure' sounds help the children to blend and segment - to read and write. |
