Phonics
At Alexandra Park Primary School, we understand the importance of early reading. Through engaging with the latest research, constant reflection and ongoing training, we ensure that all children are given the best possible chance to succeed in reading and therefore in wider education. We teach phonics following the DfE validated systematic, synthetic phonics scheme, Monster Phonics. This scheme runs from EYFS to Year 2 as well as being used to support reading and spelling in KS2. All staff receive ongoing training in Monster Phonics in order to teach phonics with consistency and validity.
