Phonics International

I've developed a thread about a current Government-funded phonics project (in England) and also about ways to evaluate phonics provision generally - via the UK Reading Reform Foundation message forum.

I thought this topic was worth flagging up via this forum too so you can read about it here:

This article amused me because the MP concerned lists all the key messages that the Government in England is trying to focus on such as the need for phonics, the need for testing of spelling and grammar, and the need to promote a love of reading by supporting libraries and reading initiatives!

So, the MP faithfully lists all of these features:

I've now cross-referenced this phonics theme on various sites and this is how I've approached the topic of poor professional understanding on the IFERI site:
