Reading and Phonics Schemes

At Normanby-by-Spital Primary School we use the following reading schemes: Rigby Star, PhonicsBugs, Project X, Lighthouse, Oxford Reading Tree, Ginn.

We currently use ‘Letters and Sounds’ as our phonics scheme. Teachers and children often use supporting resources from ‘Phonics Play’ and ‘Jolly Phonics’.

Spelling:

 Following the success of last years event, The 2018 school spelling bee will be held on Friday 29th June-If your child has entered, please find the word lists below for each year group-just incase you want to start practising already!

We know how important spelling is and have recently held a Spelling workshop for parents/carers. If you missed it or would like to have a look at some of the resources that we discussed, then check out the powerpoint below. Let's get spelling right! (not write or wright!)
