SEND Programme classroom resources

Learning to read matters for every child or young person, regardless of their starting points or learning difficulties. This is why Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised offers a number of pathways, enabling schools to create a suitable route to reading for every child.

Little Wandle SEND is a complete programme that mirrors the main Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised phonics programme but with adaptations and support in place that make it possible for schools, Special Schools and providers to meet the needs of all their learners. It has been created to help children learn to read with the right level of challenge for each child and using the graduated approach if needed.

Large Sensory Grapheme Cards

Embossed to give sensory feedback. These robust cards can be used with individuals, groups of children, or with the whole class.

Illustrated Grapheme Cards

Cards featuring 40 core Phase 5 graphemes, chosen for the Little Wandle SEND programme. Developed with advice from Special Schools and illustrated to aid understanding and memory.

Little Wandle SEND has been trialled in Special Schools, bases and alternative provision with children who have a wide range of learning and physical disabilities so that we can be sure that it provides the support needed to develop language alongside teaching word reading.

Contains 564 words and tricky words, supplied as individual cards and organised by Phase for ease of use.
