Our P1 phonics progression sets out the order in which sounds are introduced each week. This structured approach helps children build the skills they need to read, spell and write with increasing confidence. Each week, learners are taught new sounds and given opportunities to practise blending, segmenting and applying these sounds in their reading and writing.
We have recently revised the spelling programme we follow in Primary 2 and 3. We use Read Write Inc approach and progression.
In Primary 4 - 7, we follow Read Write Inc. Spelling programme. Please find information about this approach in the video below.
At Laurencekirk, we use a Big Writing approach. As a staff team, we have worked collaboratively to agree on what constitutes a high-quality writing lesson, ensuring a consistent and progressive approach to writing from P1 to P7.
