National Literacy Strategy - Phonics Training
The Primary Literacy Team will be delivering phonics training at Dryden Centre in June and July, 2005. This will take the form of a one-day course which will be repeated to accommodate the numbers of teachers involved. It is aimed at both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 teachers to ensure that the teaching of phonics is securely embedded in Key Stage 1 and extended and consolidated in Key Stage 2.
There are no course fees and lunch will be provided.
A contribution of £140 per teacher towards supply cover funding will be available from the LEA. This is for either one Year R teacher or one Year 1 teacher AND one Year 3 teacher from each school. (Two teachers from each primary school and one teacher from each infant or junior school).
Training dates have been allocated to schools. PLEASE REFER TO LETTER DATED 11 APRIL 2005 for this information. It is essential that reply slips are completed and returned to enable appropriate catering and accommodation arrangements to be made.
All participants should bring to the training:
· ‘Progression in Phonics’ book;
· ‘Playing with Sounds’ file;
· Year 2 / Year 3 Spelling Exemplification;
· any other materials being used successfully to support the teaching of phonics.
