Wall Frieze for Reception / P1 Phonics Teaching
Use this phonics wall frieze as a visual classroom tool to support whole-class teaching with Essential Letters and Sounds (ELS). Designed for fidelity to the ELS programme, this resource provides a clear visual reference, helping pupils build familiarity with graphemes and phonics patterns while creating an engaging learning environment.

Essential Letters and Sounds (ELS) is a Department for Education validated synthetic phonics programme, developed by the Knowledge Schools Trust English Hub to help children learn to read quickly and confidently.

Structured around daily lessons and matched to the progression of the original Letters and Sounds framework, ELS provides a clear, systematic approach to phonics. Each stage is supported by engaging decodable books, interactive resources, and practical guidance for parents and teachers.

Used in classrooms across the UK, ELS is designed to build fluent readers, confident speakers, and willing writers. Affordable, flexible, and easy to implement, it works seamlessly with existing resources while offering everything needed to support children's literacy journey both at school and at home.
