Help with Phonics

At HIS we have devised and developed our own systematic programme of teaching phonics called BURST. This home-developed approach involves learning actions alongside the sounds, which are taught in a systematic, staggered way, enabling pupils to learn and build, applying their knowledge of phonics across 'families' of sounds . Pupils who have been at the school since Foundation Stage are familiar with these actions and it really helps them make sense of the sounds and how they go together. The staff at HIS have worked hard to develop our own bespoke approach to teaching phonics so we have password protected the resources for use by the HSF community. We are currently updating these. Parents/ carers, please enquire at the school office for the password.
