Parents are enthusiastic to use this resource to develop their own phonic knowledge and then support their children by applying these skills during reading/phonics. The feedback has been very positive and children and parents have loved it. This resource is mainly for parents, hence why it has not reduced teacher workload or improved teacher knowledge. However over the year, we could implement this in our school to enable interactive activities during Early morning work, EAL interventions and use the resource to support new staff.
Melissa found carters-yard-phonics-flashcards:
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“It supports parents in helping them understand the way phonics works and enables parents to support their children and prepare them for the phonic screening check. Throughout the year we will assess the children termly and monitor the progress and after the phonic screening check we will be able to see clearly the impact of using these cards as an extra resource. ”
- Does not significantly improve parent engagement“This is a resource that parents bought and therefore has not yet reduced teacher workload. Possibly throughout the year we could download it onto our system and use it in a range of activities.”
- Moderately reduces teacher workload
