Publisher's Synopsis
Big Cat Phonics for Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised has been developed in collaboration with Wandle Learning Trust and Little Sutton Primary School. It comprises classroom resources to support the SSP programme and a range of phonic books that together provide a consistent and highly effective approach to teaching phonics.
Learning to read matters for every child or young person, regardless of their starting points or learning difficulties. This is why Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised offers a number of pathways, enabling schools to create a suitable route to reading for every child.
Little Wandle SEND is a complete programme that mirrors the main Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised phonics programme but with adaptations and support in place that make it possible for schools, Special Schools and providers to meet the needs of all their learners.
It has been created to help children learn to read with the right level of challenge for each child and using the graduated approach if needed.
Little Wandle SEND has been trialled in special schools, bases and alternative provision with children who have a wide range of learning and physical disabilities so that we can be sure that it provides the support needed to develop language alongside teaching word reading.
This comprehensive teacher's guide contains information and advice for delivering the Little Wandle SEND programme, including lesson templates and Prompt cards for all aspects of teaching reading using the graduated approach. It also includes advice on:
- the statutory guidance for teaching reading to children with SEND
- choosing the correct pathway for each child
- using the Little Wandle resources and books.
