Bolton Start Well

This E-Learning package is available upon request to access any time.

Phase 1 Phonics is part of the essential Every Child Training resources that Bolton Start Well have developed to support practitioners in developing a strong curriculum offer for every child. 

The E-learning course is designed for practitioners working with funded 3 and 4 year old children, with a focus on quality teaching in developing phonological awareness, the building blocks for reading and writing. 

During the course, you will explore the contents of Letters and Sounds Phase 1 Teaching Programme and consider effective practice for developing phonological awareness for children working developmentally 30 months plus.

You will need a copy of the Letters and Sounds: Principle and Practice of High Quality Phonics - Phase 1 Teaching Programme to use whilst watching this session.  If you do not have a copy in your school or setting, you can download it free here. The resource is produced by the Department for Children, Schools and Families, www.dcsf.gov.uk.
