Phonics teaching at Holy Cross is done through the Little Wandle (Revised) program. It is used in Reception, Year 1 and in the beginning of Year 2. Little Wandle (Revised) is a programme focusing on quality first teaching of phonics, early reading and early writing. The teaching of early reading will change for most pupils in Year 2. However, we recognise that not all children progress at the same rate and where Little Wandle is still needed, children will have access to this teaching. The ability to read in order to access all areas of the curriculum is vitally important so at Holy Cross we put this at the heart of all we do.
