There has been a shake-up in the way children are taught to read in primary schools in Engl&. The government has accepted a review that backs the use of a method known as 'synthetic phonics' where children are taught letter sounds (c-a-t spells cat) not the names of letters (cee-ay-tee) before they move onto simple books. Phonics is already used in a lot of schools but not necessarily in a systematic or prescriptive way. These changes
- which are being introduced at the end of 2007
- will mean that all children will be taught this way before the age of five. Phonics: The Easy Way" ties in to this new government literacy strategy & is a core guide to help you to teach your child to read using phonics. It follows the latest recommendations of the DFES & the Primary National Strategy reflecting the new fundamentally changed teaching guidelines." Phonics: The Easy Way"
