Red Rose Letters and Sounds: Learning and Progression Steps for Reading in Reception

The Red Rose Letters and Sounds Learning and Progression Steps for Reading in Reception are designed to support progression for the teaching of reading in the Reception year.

They outline the Red Rose Letters and Sounds phonic progression for word reading, including grapheme, phoneme correspondences, tricky words and high frequency words, alongside comprehension development.

The comprehension statements have been derived from the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework, and are designed to support teachers to plan appropriate learning opportunities for the whole class, groups, and individual children, in order to meet end of year expectations in reading.
