Phonics Blog Series
Phonics is a real passion of mine and one of my favourite things to teach when I worked in early years. It is one part of a wide range of skills children need to be able to read and write. However, it comes with plenty of jargon and for many of us we were never taught it ourselves at school.
This series is ideal for parents looking to support their children with their phonics learning or planning to home school, but equally perfect for student teachers. Check out the series here.
