Literacy materials: Step by step Phonics

Introduction | Differentiation | Assessment flowchart | Assessment recording sheet |

We strongly believe that children should be taught daily phonics in Reception and Year 1 and two to three sessions per week in Y2, in order to quickly and efficiently learn the phonic knowledge needed to support their independent reading and writing.

The units consist of:

• An overview of each step which gives teachers a week by week breakdown of objectives to teach and suggested activities
• Daily lesson plans, which are planned as 10 - 20 minute sessions. They can be delivered as whole class or group lessons. The lessons could also be delivered to a group by a Teaching Assistants, and be used with targeted children in other year groups.
• Word lists for steps 4 to 7
