What is the

Learn to Read and Write

curriculum?

The CambriLearn Learn to Read and Write course is the first level offered in the British International curriculum at CambriLearn and precedes Primary Stage 1. Learning to Read and Write is a phonics, course which prepares 5–6-year-old students for their first year of proper schooling with an emphasis on listening, speaking and reading. 

The course uses the approach favoured in many of the newer phonics programmes, teaching letters and blends, rather than teaching all the single letters before moving onto blends. This approach allows the child to already ‘read’ words from Week 2. From Week 20, the course integrates time for learning sight words, all of which leads to a more rounded approach to learning to read and write. 

By building their literacy from the start, this course provides a sound foundation for subsequent primary courses.

Specific Outcomes

By the end of this 30-week (approx.) programme your child will:

  • have learnt the basic 44 sounds used in the English language,
  • have started to learn sight words according to the Dolch list (words that should be easily recognised in order to achieve reading fluency in English),
  • be able to blend sounds,
  • be able to decode unfamiliar words by breaking them down into their sounds. As well as being a reading tool, this process of segmenting is also the earliest stage of spelling preparation,
  • be able to read a simple story. On completion of the course and final assessment, students will receive a Certificate of Completion.
