Phonics for Nursery shows you how to grow children’s vocabulary through role-play, discussion, building sentences and using productive questioning. It places huge emphasis on developing children’s love of reading through enticing story and poetry times.
In the last term of Nursery, children are taught to say the sounds of letters with the help of mnemonics, to blend the sounds into words and read simple ‘blending books’. This gives them a flying start before going into the Reception class.

Our dynamic trainers demonstrate activities one step at a time, using footage of real lessons. They help you practise and prepare before teaching and use management strategies to engage children and speed up progress.
