Phonics

Handwriting
In EYFS, we teach handwriting daily through the Read Write Inc. (RWI) programme, which provides a structured and consistent approach. Each day, children learn and practise correct letter formation alongside learning the corresponding sounds, using clear rhymes and visual prompts to support muscle memory and fine motor skills.
