This means that each Teacher Book needs to ‘stand alone’ as well as form part of a cohesive whole programme. It maps these termly overviews across weeks as half termly plans, and provides daily lesson plans for each session, with Supporting Resources, including word lists and guidance on conventions. Guidance on how to teach the spelling strategies and skills required to meet the New Curriculum requirements.

There are over 200 sequences, all of which are available in Word format, so that teachers can make their own adaptations to suit their class. The No Nonsense Spelling programme will provide pupils with a range of spelling patterns and strategies, enabling them to apply these across the curriculum more effectively as they become independent spellers. It’s very clear on the rules and patterns you have to follow, but then also makes clear activities you can use to help teach that spelling pattern. The teaching sequences follow a three-part plan: Learning about the text, practising writing and independent writing. Texts noted as good for a particular year are especially useful for teaching specific grammar objectives for that year group.Performance in this area lags significantly behind that in reading, where only 11% fail to achieve level 4.

A highly skilled and experienced EYFS teacher told me she had ‘fallen in love with phonics teaching again’ after working with Debbie and seeing what it can achieve for children.

The Babcock LDP literacy team is a well-established andexperienced group of English advisers, who work extensively in schools in Devon and beyond.He isn’t fooled into believing he’s equipped to answer your ‘educational’ questions though – and will pass them on to Debbie like hot potatoes to ensure that you get the correct expert advice every time. Additional material and guidance for ‘ Entry Point Assessment’ is provided via the USB stick included in the No Nonsense Phonics Skills Box Set – otherwise, simply assess the learner’s knowledge of the alphabetic code (“see the letter/s, say the sounds”) and make a professional judgement for the ‘best fit’ Pupil Book to start with based on the learner’s level of language comprehension and spelling ability of the Mini Story pages if given as a dictation. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

structures (text and grammatical) that are national curriculum age-related and can be replicated to inspire pupils’ original compositions. Since adopting NNP and PI we have seen a significant increase in our children’s phonic scores, moving from 50% passing the PSC in 2019 to now having 89% on track to pass this year.Each sequence is based on quality children's literature and has reading activities and grammar taught in context included.
