Talks and training events in universities

It was really good to meet lecturers and student-teachers at Leeds Metropolitan University today - alongside local teachers and headteachers.
I provided a talk entitled: Focused synthetic phonics teaching and its integration with wider reading, spelling and writing
- hosted by Oxford University Press and the university.
It was gratifying to learn that this university also uses my Alphabetic Code Chart designed for student-teachers and I do encourage universities to consider using it as student-teachers have a lot to learn about phonics in such a relatively short time. It took me years to hone my knowledge and skills and I'm still learning daily!
