READING SCHEMES
There are several popular reading schemes used in Welsh schools and we thought it might be helpful to give you a short introduction to them, so you can contextualise the reading schemes below. ​
Pori Drwy Stori (Browse Through a Story)
Aimed at Nursery (Meithrin) and Reception (Derbyn) aged children, it incorporates nursery rhymes, traditional songs as well as stories. The website contains downloadable sheets for use at home as well as videos and audios of stories being read aloud. At this stage, it's all about exposing the child to the Welsh sounds and words through listening to songs and stories.
Tric a Chlic (Trick and Click)
This is the ever popular 'phonics' scheme used by Welsh and English medium schools as children take their first steps in learning to read. Typically used from Year 1 (Blwyddyn 1) upwards.
Year 1, 2 and 3 (and upwards) (Blwyddyn 1, 2 a 3)
Following on the schemes above, there are a variety of reading programmes that are used to help your child progress in their reading skills. These include (but not limited to) Coeden Ddarllen Rhydychen (Oxford Reading Tree), Prosiect X (Project X), Pobl Pentre Bach (People of the Little Village), Pitrwm Patrwm ('Pitrwm' Pattern), Cyfres Darllen Stori (The Story Reading Scheme) and many more.
Click on the series below that corresponds with your child's current reading book. There are resources with each title that will help you navigate each book. These include a combination of either audio recordings, translations and/ or key word videos.
