Catch-Up Phonics for KS2

“Thank you to Pet and the team at Dandelion Learning for a really informative and useful training session on Catch-Up Phonics for KS2. This session was jam-packed with fantastic activity ideas, information and resources to support KS2 Phonics catch-up. I always find their sessions are great value for money, interesting and really supportive.” Sarah Moss, Learning Advocate, ‘Awena’ Cornwall Virtual School

This training is aimed at Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5 and Y6 teachers and TAs.

It is imperative that all pupils who have gaps in phonic knowledge/skills are supported to ensure they catch-up with their peers. Without rapid, effective intervention it is common for struggling readers to develop feelings of anxiety and low self-esteem. It is essential that these pupils receive targeted support as a matter of priority so that they master the alphabetic code and go on to become happy and confident readers and writers.

We also know that Ofsted pay particular attention to pupils who are reading below age related expectations to assess how well the school is teaching phonics and supporting all children to become confident, fluent readers. This session will ensure that any intervention is based on sound subject knowledge and pedagogy and has maximum impact on pupil progress. This training will examine:

• Strategies and resources for supporting pupils who have gaps in phonic knowledge and skills.
• Phonics terminology and subject knowledge.
• Materials to support assessment and screening for phonics as well as progression through the phases.
