High Quality Phonics - Accessible to All
About the Programme
Phonics for SEN is a complete, systematic synthetic linguistic phonics programme published in seven books.
Working through the programme, the pupil:
learns about and understands the concepts that underpin how the written English is constructed,
learns, practices and masters the skills they need to work with sounds and letters, and
develops the knowledge they need to learn, build up and retain to be able to read and spell well.
The programme has a linguistic focus taking the pupils from sound to symbol, from spoken word to print.
