Reading

At Winton we use Floppy Phonics as our phonic scheme, with effect from September 2021.  Oxford Reading Tree provides a ‘spine’ to our reading books especially for younger children.  However we are not limited to this scheme and have a wide range of reading material that is organised using book bands.

There is a guide below on how to use Oxford Owl, an online reading resource, with your child at home.

Our ‘Book Band Bookmarks’ are to support you in becoming familiar with what your child needs to be able to do/read at each of the book band levels as well as aid you in finding texts which match their reading ability. At the bottom on the document there are tips on how to encourage and praise your child with reading and how to support them when they make mistakes.
