Teaching phonics the wrong way......

Am being vague deliberately as have been outed in RL before. Shock

4 form intake.
Year 1.
9 adults.
Phonics.
Each adult has been taking a different phonics group. Or 2 of us doubling up.
So 1 TA is teaching ph2,
1 TA, 1 teacher doing ph 3,
More doing 4, 5 and 6
One TA on 1to1 with SEN child.

Found out we are doing it wrong. (I knew it! But no one would listen.)

Have we got time to turn it around before the dreaded Phonics Test.

Apparently we should have been teaching Ph5 to all and jumping back over Ph3 4 and 5.HmmHmm

Yes. Just done a phonics test.....last week.

It shows lots of gaps so hopefully these will be fixed soon.

Damn those alien words though. HmmHmm

All words are "alien" words if they aren't familiar ... They are the best indicator of future reading accuracy which is why they are included in most good diagnostic checks.
