Guidance for use

Progression in Spelling (encoding)
Practitioner should judge the point at
which their class and individual
children should begin the programme
Select five words a day to work with;
teaching children how to put sounds
together to make words; going from
left to right (encoding)
Together as a class use each word in a
sentence. Children can then read these
independently later
In addition to this programme, children should be given a period
for uninterrupted silent reading at KS2. KS1 and EYFS should
share stories, poems and rhymes daily and children given a poem
or rhyme per week to memorise. Daily handwriting practice is also
recommended
NB: Early EAL and SEN pupils will be operating outside their Letters
& Sounds phases or year group. Please refer to their individual IEP.
