Little Wandle

​Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised has been developed by Wandle and Little Sutton English Hubs and taken forward by Little Sutton Primary School and Wandle Learning Trust in partnership with other phonics and early reading experts.

At Horsley our children start their phonics journey in Reception.

As a school we follow the ‘Little Wandle – Letters and Sounds’ scheme, this ensures that there is consistency in the teaching of Phonics throughout the school. As a result, our Systematic, Synthetic Phonics Program (SSP) is high quality and robust in its purpose. With a clear structured route it allows all our pupils to meet or exceed the expected standard.

We whole-heartedly believe that our rigorous program is the key that unlocks our children’s success in early reading.

During the year, we ensure that parents are fully involved in their child’s phonics journey and this is achieved through various means. In Owls, children’s phonics learning is often shared on Tapestry to keep parents up to date with the sounds they are learning. In Peregrines, children receive weekly spelling activities to practice at home. We also organise and deliver an interactive parents’ session to engage parents in our SSP and give them strategies to support the children at home with their phonics.

Correct pronunciation of the sounds is vital to ensure consistent phonics teaching. Below are videos and links to documents demonstrating the correct pronunciation of our sounds.

These four videos show you how to pronounce the sounds. Notice how the children don’t add an ‘uh’ sound at the end, so they say: ‘t’ not ‘tuh’. Use the downloadable information to help your child remember how to write their letters and say their sounds.
