Support your child at home with phonics

Here is where you’ll find lots of guidance and support for supporting your child with their phonics and reading development through nursery, reception, year 1 and beyond!

At Green Top we follow the Letters and Sounds progression for our phonics provision and deliver this through a mutli sensory approach (including jolly phonics songs and actions).

Hopefully you’ll find this information helpful.
