English

Reading is an essential life skill and at St. John’s, we whole-heartedly believe that reading is of vital importance to all children. We believe that it is our moral duty to ensure that all children in our care are taught how to read and how to understand what they have read and link it to their own lives and experiences. We do this through teaching both word recognition and comprehension skills alongside each other.

At St John's we teach phonics through the Monster Phonics scheme.
