Early Reading and Phonics

At Tadpole Farm, we use the Monster Phonics programme to support your children with learning Phonics for reading and writing. To support your children at home, we wanted to share with you the resources we use in class (including sound mats, tricky word mats, sound flash cards and  letter formation sheets) 

Each child in Reception should have a reading book that has been matched to their phonics knowledge, a 'Borrowing Burrow Book', chosen by the children to encourage a love of reading and a reading record to log when your child has read at home and school.

If you have any questions regarding reading at home, please catch us on the gate or email the class email adresses: (owlclass@tadpolefarmcepa.co.uk or squirrelclass@tadpolefarmcepa.co.uk

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support!
