FAQ for the ready for reading phase 1 phonics course, asking whether this is suitable for use before any phonics programme

A million times YES! 

This pre-phonics training is a firm foundation for ANY Phonics programme. As all Phonics programmes do the same job, and because we do not introduce scheme specific methodologies at the pre-phonic stage, this training is perfect for EVERYONE working with preschool or nursery aged children.

There is no need for any practitioner to feel the urgency to rush ahead and introduce the letter-sound correspondences. This phase 1 phonics training will explain why, and what to do instead.

FAQs about the phonics phase 1 ready for reading online course and how these meet the requirements of Ofsted inspections
