Reading and Phonics
At The Bridge, we prioritise collaboration among staff to evaluate the previous year’s reading interventions and set new objectives. This year, we have introduced 1:1 phonics interventions using the Abigail Steel phonics program, specifically designed to support our weakest readers. This structured approach aims to enhance reading skills and build confidence among students who may struggle with literacy.
