Little Wandle Letters and Sounds

Little Wandle Letters and Sounds is a highly effective approach to teaching phonics with classroom resources and a diverse range of decodable phonics books. It was developed in collaboration with two English Hubs, Wandle Learning Trust and Little Sutton Primary School and validated by the DFE in July 2021. There is also a separate selection of books aimed at pupils aged 7+ to match the Little Wandle Rapid Catch-up Programme as well as classroom resources and SEND support.
