We use the Read Write Inc. Scheme for phonics. As your child progresses through Read Write Inc phonics, they will take learning support materials home including QR codes (related to the sounds and words they are learning to blend to read) and books (reflecting their current phonic knowledge and skills). Phonic books include the following:

Storybooks: Each week your child will take home a copy of the storybook they have just read at school. Re-reading familiar stories helps to improve your child’s fluency and comprehension.

Book Bag Books: These books are matched to the storybooks your child has read in school. They are used for extra practice.
