Reading and Phonics
Welcome to our dedicated page on Reading and Phonics at Marine Park Primary. We are committed to providing a robust foundation in literacy for all our pupils, ensuring they acquire the essential skills needed to thrive in their academic journeys and beyond. A key component of our literacy programme is the Read Write Inc phonics scheme, designed to foster strong reading and writing abilities from an early age.
At Marine Park Primary, we understand the importance of parental involvement in children's education. The Read Write Inc program not only supports children in becoming fluent readers but also gives them the confidence to explore writing independently. Our teachers are highly trained in delivering this programme, ensuring that each child receives the attention and tailored instruction they need to progress.
We encourage parents to engage with their children's reading journey at home. To support this, we offer various resources and workshops that explain the Read Write Inc strategies and provide practical advice on how to assist your children. Together, we can build a strong literacy foundation, empowering our pupils to achieve their full potential.

Familiar, high‑quality texts are a core element of our Early Years reading curriculum and play a significant role in securing strong foundations for language and literacy. Through repeated exposure to the same carefully selected stories, children develop a deep understanding of vocabulary, narrative structure, and key language patterns. This repetition enables pupils to internalise rich story language, anticipate events, and engage confidently in retelling, supporting both comprehension and expressive communication. Familiar texts also provide a consistent platform for practitioners to model ambitious vocabulary, extend children’s thinking, and promote high‑quality interactions—an essential feature of effective Early Years pedagogy. By embedding a shared repertoire of well‑known stories across the setting, we ensure that all children, including those who may have limited prior experience of books, can participate fully and develop the secure knowledge they need to progress. This approach contributes directly to children’s readiness for early reading and underpins our commitment to ensuring that every child develops the language, confidence, and enjoyment necessary for future success.
