Early Learning Goal

sentences. They use phonic knowledge
to decode regular words and read them
aloud accurately. They also read some
common irregular words. They
demonstrate understanding when talking
with others about they have read.

Early Learning Goal for
writing
Children use their phonic knowledge to write
words in ways which match their spoken sounds.
They also write some irregular common words.
They write simple sentences which can be read by
themselves and others. Some words are spelt
correctly and others are phonetically plausible.
