Phonics

Devonshire Infants School chosen phonics scheme - Little Wandle Letters and Sounds.

 Click on this link to take you to the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds website page for parents. https://www.littlewandle.org.uk/resources/for-parents/

The resources on this webpage will help you support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. 

There are also useful videos so you can see how your children are taught at school and videos to show you how you can support them when reading at home.

There are guides to show you how children are taught to say the sounds (the pronunciation phrase) and the phrases used to support accurate letter formation (the formation phrase).
