Step One - getting to know your programme
Phonics International embodies a huge claim - that it is suitable for just about anyone wanting to teach and learn how to read and write in the English language. In our modern world where we like to think of ourselves as individuals and 'No one size fits all' is a common saying, how can I be so ambi...

It's very simple - just look at the pupils' current spelling knowledge and ability. Some older pupils with weaker spelling ability may need to start a spelling programme in the earlier units.

Kat - I really enjoyed reading your posting. You can imagine that as a new author of these resources, it is very exciting to hear people describe how they are using them in their different settings. I am using the programme across several age ranges in the primary school where I work part-time. Most...

Further guidance coming soon...
I have heard from a parent who has commented that there are so many resources in the online programme that this is potentially overwhelming for parents who may need more step-by-step guidance. I am appling myself to this forthwith. We have every intention of providing audio and video training which ...

More to come....
We are working on more video training and advisory support which will be added to the www.phonicsinternational.com site as it is completed. We are also working on another strand for units 7 to 12 which involves further illustrations - not for picture cues which, as you know, are not part of the synt...

Public response to Channel 4s 'Last Chance Kids'
I have had a number of phone calls from parents seeking advice and support following the television series on Channel 4 'Lost for Words' (or 'Last Chance Kids'). I am very pleased to hear from these parents. I am so pleased that the Dispatches programme is supporting the notion of informing parents ...

Thank you for all the trouble you have gone to describing your experiences with a new programme. It always takes some time before teachers (when I say 'teachers', I always include parents in that if parents are doing the teaching!) get the full measure of what they have available to them and how bes...
