At Pevensey and Westham we recognise that learning to read opens up a world of opportunities for children.  To support you with helping your child to read at home, please click here for our Guide for Parents and Carers.

Inspired to Read - PaWS Reading newsletter

To support phonics and reading in Key Stage 1, we use the Read Write Inc phonics programme. We build on our phonics and reading teaching by using Read Write Inc spelling to support the teaching of spelling and Accelerated Reader to support children’s progress in reading across Key Stage 2. Please follow the links below for more information.
