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.

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.
