Early Literacy in Reception

Our Early Years (EYSF) curriculum is designed to perfectly blend continuous provision (play) with a more structured approach to learning. At Truro School Pre-Prep, our teacher-led teams ensure that our pupils are offered phonics, maths and early writing from Nursery (age 3).

Today, our Reception children were learning the digraph ‘SH’. Phonics teaching allows children to understand the relationship between the sounds they hear and the written symbols. This involves hearing, identifying and using the patterns of sounds or phonemes to start reading and writing.

As you can see from our photos, while they provide the essential backbones for early literacy, these sessions are also lots of fun for all.
