Phonics Phonics is an important part of early reading and writing. Eventually it is used in every area of the curriculum and it is useful for children to have a confident grasp of the sounds and how to use them. I offer sessions which are exclusively for Phonics and sessions which can contain Phonics along with Numeracy and Literacy.
Numeracy For some, Numeracy is fun and a lot of enjoyment can be gained from learning number patterns, how they work and fit together, however that is not always the case. For children of this age, it is important to put the fun back into numbers and number facts while teaching new processes and skills. I do this through various games and activities that are hands on and engaging.
Literacy There is much more to Literacy than simply reading and writing. Literacy is when children fall in love with stories and story telling. It is important to teach children in KS1 positive communication skills through speaking, listening, reading and writing. I do this through different topics tailored to their interests and hobbies.
