Short Description: Letters and Sounds is a six-phase teaching programme designed to help practitioners and teachers teach children how the alphabet works for reading and spelling.
Long Description: Since the publication of Letters and Sounds there has been widespread recognition that it would be useful to have a separate and more compact publication that comprised just the first phase of the programme (Phase One).
Phase One activities concentrate on developing children's speaking and listening skills, phonological awareness and oral blending and segmenting. These activities are intended to be used as part of a broad and rich language curriculum that has speaking and listening at its centre, links language with physical and practical experiences, and provides an environment rich in print and abundant in opportunities to engage with books. Phase One activities pave the way for children to make a good start in reading and writing.
The materials comprise the Phase One programme, a DVD showing clips of effective Phase One practice and a short booklet of overall guidance.
