Handwriting
At Tiptoe School we learn cursive handwriting which means we learn to do lead ins and lead outs on all our lower case letters. We learn to write this way because it will help us to join our letters when we are ready to do so.
In Year 2 we can earn a pen license when we can write using the correct letter formation!

Phonics
We use a systematic synthetic phonics teaching programme to ensure we:
-
give all children a solid base upon which to build as they progress through school

help children to develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information
We learn phonics in small groups.We use a programme called Monster Phonics to help us learn our letters and sounds.
