Phonics Scheme

Essential Letters and Sounds (ELS) is our chosen Phonics Scheme at Swan Lane First School. The aim of ELS is ‘Getting all children to read well, quickly’. It teaches children to read by identifying the phonemes (the smallest unit of sound) and graphemes (the written version of the sound) within words and using these to read words.
