At Hemlington Hall Academy, we strive to ensure that all children learn the phonetic code. We use the Little Wandle Letters and Revised scheme of learning to deliver our progressive phonics teaching. This complete systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP) teaches children to decode (read) and encode (spell). Our systematic phonics provision allows the literary and wider world to open up to the children whilst meeting all the expectations of the National Curriculum and preparing children to go beyond the expectations of the Phonics Screening Check. More information on the  ‘Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised’ scheme for parents can be found here.

​These four videos show you how to pronounce the sounds. Notice how the children don’t add an ‘uh’ sound at the end, so they say: ‘t’ not ‘tuh’.
