At St Peter's, our systematic synthetic phonics programme provides a systematic way to teach reading through synthetic phonics. Children are taught to decode by breaking down words into sounds as a way to “synthesize” the whole word from letters and sounds. By using the sequences, children are taught, through techniques such as our ‘Say It, Stretch It, Sound It,’ to decode by breaking down words into sounds as a way to segment and blend (“synthesise“) the whole word with the learning reinforced by the offline and online multi-sensory tasks and games.

As the children progress through the school into Key Stage 2 we use a whole-class reading approach to the teaching of reading and reading comprehension skills by using engaging, relevant content from FRED's Teaching.
