Review of Carter's Yard Phonics Flashcards
Jan 2019
I've already recommended them to a few colleagues and cannot speak highly enough of them. I've shown them to colleagues who don't teach phonics and it has enlightened us all about how easy it is to bring AR technology into the classroom and provide much needed engagement to reluctant children, SEN children and those boys who never seem to latch onto anything else that is used to stimulate them in phonics.
Siân Rankin found carters-yard-phonics-flashcards:
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“The attention to detail hooks the children and provides them with encouragement that they once may have lacked. It allowed a once reluctant boy to become confident enough to want to keep trying and it was a pleasure to see the impact it had on his learning almost instantly. The independence children can gain from using them is also intriguing as one particular child is very reliant on adult input. Addressing gaps and hoaning in on particular phonemes allows the child to repeatedly practise until they develop confidence and in essence a better understanding. ”
- Significantly improves parent engagement“Due to the activities being child led it allows the teacher to stand back and observe them in a world where they are most confident - using technology, iPads and sound to provoke and enhance their knowledge. ”
- Slightly reduces teacher workload
