Phonics
Phonics Learning at St John's
Here at St John’s we are proud to teach Phonics and Early Reading using Supersonic Phonic Friends.
Supersonic Phonic Friends is a child-centered, systematic and synthetic Phonics scheme. It is underpinned with rhythm, rhyme and movement and most importantly, it enables us to teach Phonics in a dynamic and engaging way. Our mastery approach ensures children are able to apply all skills around a spelling; oral blending and segmenting, recognition of the spelling on its own, reading it in a word, reading in different contexts and writing.
Our curriculum is consistent and progressive.
- Firm Foundations in Reception
- The Basics 2 and 3 in Reception
- The Basics 4 in Year 1
- The Higher Levels – Choose to Use Rules in Year 1
- The Higher Level – Switch it Spell Sounds in Year 1 and 2

Resourses to help at home:
