Phonics at Dagnall

At Dagnall school, we have adopted ‘Supersonic Phonics Friends’, a DfE approved scheme, to support us with the teaching of systematic synthetic phonics. This ensures a consistent approach across Early Years and Key Stage 1. ‘Supersonic Phonic Friends’ is based on the well-recognised ‘Letters and Sounds’ approach. Supersonic Phonic Friends is an enchanted adventure of phonics where along the way children meet several friendly woodland characters who represent each literacy skill involved. Supported by the children’s new ‘Supersonic friends’ and rhyming captions and phrases, this approach ensures children develop the confidence to apply each skill to their own reading and writing.

Please use the links below to; meet the characters, explore the benefits of the scheme and pick up handy resources to help your child.

If you need any further information, please speak to your child’s class teacher or email the office to contact Mrs. Tebbutt our English/Phonics subject lead.
