For at home, or as a teacher looking for a school-wide scheme?

It's a budget version of RWI/Little Wandle. It's perfectly adequate but I only used it when it was quite new and there wasn't enough book options. I would assume that the book variety has grown over the years but worth investigating, if you haven't already. Lesson structure is basically the same as RWI/LW.

If Budget can stretch to RWI/Little Wandle, I would. But if Budget is limited, Twinkl phonics is perfectly good.

Thank you - very interesting. If budget was unlimited, what reading scheme would you choose?
