Phonics
The Rapid Catch-up programme mirrors the core Little Wandle programme, but
children learn at a much faster pace. The Rapid Catch-up programme has been
carefully designed for children aged 7 and above to catch up quickly.
All for the love of reading
• Teaching children the skills of reading will increase their will to read.
• Children who love reading, choose to read.
• Reading develops children’s vocabulary, understanding of the world and empathy.
• A love of reading is the biggest indicator of future academic success! To develop a
love of reading, children must have the skills to read, which is why we teach them
using phonics.
