PHONICS

Bug Club Phonics

At Woodcroft Academy we use the Pearson Phonics Bug programme to help your child learn to read. The programme follows an approach of synthesising phonemes associated graphemes a child sees; or put another way learning to read by blending sounds. The sounds associated with the letters a child sees. The programme is the product of extensive research on effective ways to teach children how to read.
