RWI Phonics
We take part in phonics sessions every day along with our friends in Year 1. We use the RWI phonics scheme for phonics and for writing activities. We are split into different ability groups based on the colour we achieve when assessed and then we move up the colours throughout the year.
Many children will compete RWI phonics and will complete English work with Miss Moore instead.
In Year 2, we cover SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar), reading comprehension and the Power of Reading sequences in our English lessons.
We use Reading V.I.P.E.R.S to help us during comprehension. We have help sheets with sentence stems that help us form a super answer!
Read to Write
We follow the Read to Write POS sequences in our English lessons. Our lessons are based on a book. The book then gives us exciting writing opportunities!
This year we will be using the following texts in our English lessons:
We love our English lessons because the books are engaging and make us think deeper about the story! We produce outstanding writing from these books.
You can find a breakdown of exactly what is included with each book’s sequence on the Y2 Yearly Overview!
Reading
We are read aloud to every day by an adult. We take part in RWI phonics reading sessions and whole class guided reading. We are beginning to learn how to use VIPERS and sentence stems!
