Reading and Phonics
Reading is really, really important! We have lots of opportunities for reading. Children bring home both a decodable reading book and a Bedtime Book. We also use an online system for our reading books called Bug Club. All children have a log in (found in the front of their reading diaries) and the books are linked to their reading level. The school code is TAJM
Our phonics scheme is Lesley Clarke's Phonics. You are able to log in and access workshops and the phonics we are covering in school. This term we will be looking at Phase 4 and 5a, please either see Dojo or ask one of us for the log in details.
Squid - any issues with accessing your Squid account, especially to pay for trips- please see
