We use Supersonic Phonic Friends for our phonics scheme at St Oswald's. The programme is a fully systematic, synthetic phonic approach ranging from the simple to the complex spellings of the alphabetic code. Supported by their Supersonic Phonic friends, this approach will ensure children develop confidence and apply each skill to their own reading and writing. For more information, click the link below.
