English
At Maulden Lower School, children participate in daily English lessons which focus on speaking, listening and vocabulary; reading comprehension and word recognition; spelling, punctuation and grammar; and composition skills in order to write for a range of different purposes and audiences.
It is important to us that children are able to read fluently and for pleasure. Reading is a high priority in our school and each class holds a daily reading half hour, usually first thing in the morning.
We teach daily phonics lessons in the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, following the Read Write Inc scheme. Small groups of children will also continue to receive regular phonics teaching in Key Stage 2, as required.
Teaching and learning about writing is encouraged through all subjects in our curriculum where children are given the opportunity to demonstrate the writing skills they have learned in English lessons.
