PHONICS AND SPELLING PROGRAMME
The phonics and spelling Programme helps to develop and students reading and writing skills.
GUIDANCE FOR USE Progression in spelling (encoding) The practitioner should judge the point at which their class and individual children should begin the programme Select ten words a day to work with; teaching children how to put sounds together to make words; going from left to right (encoding) Together as a class, use each word in a sentence. Children can then read these independently later
