Phonics at Dovelands
Jolly Phonics:
We use a DfE validated scheme called ‘Jolly Phonics’. This scheme has been validated by the Department for Education. Through this scheme, we have implemented effective strategies to improve phonics, ensuring that every child has a strong foundation for future achievements on our journey towards creating a community of lifelong learners.
What phonics looks like at Dovelands:
At Dovelands, we teach phonics four times a week. In FS2, this happens Tuesday – Friday at 10.00. On a Monday, a tricky words session is taught. In year 1, we teach phonics on a Monday at 09.25 and Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 09.00. In addition to this, phonics interventions and regular recapping of phonemes and graphemes are happening daily.
