In year 1 our primary focus is on reading. We share lots of stories in class and we retell, sequence and predict what might happen next in our Composition lessons.

By the end of year 1, your child is expected to be reading at phase 5 (phonics), therefore we encourage you to read as much as possible with your child at home. We read in small groups during school time to develop decoding skills initially and then comprehension skills as the year progresses.
