Reading with your child

At Woodlea, we follow the Ruth Miskin 'Read, Write Inc' programme for phonics, reading and writing. Look at this video for how it works and click here for more information on how to help your child.

We know that many of our parents want to support their child's reading at home, but are often unsure what books would be suitable. To support you with these we have put together some reading lists to help you.

Handwriting at Woodlea

We encourage all of our children to present  all of their work in neatly joined handwriting. We have a school wide cursive font that the children are taught to use and practice in class.

See the link below for a copy of the font.
