Research suggests that the best way for students learn to read accurately and fluently is through the delivery of a structrured synthetic phonics approach. The synthetic phonics approached is an evidenced informed way to teach students the letter patterns underpinning the English language.
At Taranganba State School, we employ the 'Letters and Sounds' program as our systematic approach to teaching reading and spelling in the early years. We use Letters and Sounds in a very systematic way to ensure all students are taught the various letter patterns and corresponding sounds at various junctures across P-2.
