Making a Strong Start

We follow the Read Write Inc 'Making a Strong Start' to ensure all pupils make great progress learning to read when they start school at Compass Primary Academy. 

When a pupil starts school in EYFS Reception, they will start learning to say and write the Read Write in Set 1 Sounds.

During the first few weeks, pupils will have a daily whole-class Speed Sound lesson where they will learn to say new sounds, practise sounds they have been taught and have opportunities to write these sounds.

Our pupils will be learning:

m, a, s, d, t

i, n, p, g, o

c, k, u, b

f, e, l, h

r, j, v, y, w

z, x

Whist pupils are learning these sounds in school, we promote reading at home amongst our families to support pupils further.
