Welcome to Reception

In order to try to maintain the love and teaching of reading at home, we have purchased an online reading scheme, run by the book company Collins.

This allows teachers to assign books to your child to read online at home. Parents and carers should have received an email with the login details.  Click on the image above for the login page.

This video is the presentation that the Reception teachers would have given to parents and carers of Reception children about reading, writing and mathematics at Great Crosby. Press pause at any time. The links to videos are in this section.

This video clip shows the correct 'pure' pronunciation of phonemes (units of sound). 

 Reception lessons that teach children to read letters and begin to blend to read words.

This is how we teach children to segment and blend words for reading.
