Dr Jennifer Buckingham: Focus on Phonics - a report recommending use of an annual phonics check
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2016 11:17 pm
This news is a really important development with massive potential for informing teachers in Australia about their effectiveness in teaching phonics.
IFERI highly recommends global use of England's Year One Phonics Screening Check - or similar variant - to inform the teaching profession wherever English is taught for reading purposes.
Dr Jennifer Buckingham has written a report, Focus on Phonics, in which she highly recommends the use of England's Year One Phonics Check - or a modified version of the check.
