Smiling, Caring and Learning Together on a Journey with God

Reading

At Nyewood we aim for all children to develop a love of reading; to do this we teach the skills of reading so that children can decode words, talk about texts and be inspired to read.

We use Little Wandle for the teaching of Early Reading in our school. Please see below an overview of this as well as a link to the website for more information.
