Funding for Phonics

The DCSF has recently announced that local authorities are to receive £9m of funding to deliver phonics programmes for young children. The use of synthetic phonics as a method to develop literacy skills has been increasing since the publication of the Rose Review in 2006.

For further information on phonics, try looking at this previous post which contains links to useful materials, or this one which contains a programme on the topic from Teachers TV.
