ALL ABOARD PHONICS
At St Cuthbert's we follow 'All Aboard Phonics' a validated systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme.
All Aboard Learning at home - Phonics APP
Click on either the Apple or Android link below to access the APP - as a parent you will receive details on how to register with a school account via e-mail.
The APP offers opportunities to practise reading skills through a series of games and e-books which are tailored to the level your child's currently working at in phonics.
There are some app and online account tutorial videos in case you need any help getting set up!

YEAR 2 NATIONAL CURRICULUM
After passing the Phonics Screening Test At the end of Year 1, children should have a firm grasp of all the GPCs covered in Phases 2-5. In Year 2, schools can begin to follow the National Curriculum for spelling. Any children in Year 2 who did not pass the Phonics Screening Check or who are not confident in reading words with the Phase 5 GPCs should continue to learn phonics using the previous phases.
