Phonics Overview
At Al Basma British School phonics will be taught using a systematic approach with a focus on word skills, both the skill of reading and writing words. At Al Basma School phonics is taught using the Letters and Sounds Programme. This programme is taught using the different phases. In this programme the children learn that there are predictable relationships between sounds and letters. This allows children to apply these relationships to both familiar and unfamiliar words and thus begin their journey to reading and writing.
