David Didau on Year One Phonics Screening Check

Post by debbie »

I feature England's statutory Year One Phonics Screening Check in my online course as a very important development which I, and others, encourage the use of globally.

I thought, therefore, I would add David Didau's comments about the check following yet another Twitter debate which always raises interest for and against the phonics check.

David notifies his 'new' post via Twitter saying:

"For all those who've got in touch to say they feel insulted at my suggestion that all children should pass the PSC:"

I've already posted about this on the International Foundation for Effective Reading Instruction forum but I've added that link to David's blog too:

I've left a comment on David's blog.
