Phonics Programme
Phonics at Foreland Fields School
All Aboard Phonics
The All Aboard Phonics team have been working in literacy research since 2008.
Most of their research has been with struggling readers, through intervention work using an Easyread System. By developing an understanding of the cause of difficulty for each child and testing different solutions, the team developed a unique approach of the learn-to-read journey using phonics.
That research process has involved helping over 15,000 struggling readers reach reading confidence. The success rate has risen slowly to over 99%.
All of that acquired knowledge has now gone into All Aboard Phonics and All Aboard Phonics Plus (an intervention process integrated into All Aboard Phonics). The All Abaord Phonics team have combined the research with individual children and the knowledge and experience of classroom teachers, to create a practical solution in a normal class setting.
Foreland Fields School have adopted the All Aboard Phonics programme from September 2022.
The programme will ensure:
- that a consistent phonics progression and approach is used throughout the Pioneers Pathway with positive impact on pupil progress.
- that the EYFS curriculum prepares pupils with phonics awareness for future learning on the Pioneers Pathway.
- that teachers and support staff delivering phonics sessions (class and targeted interventions) have access to relevant and ongoing training linked to this systematic synthetic programme.
- that pupils are regularly assessed on their phonics skills and knowledge to support appropriate class and group work/interventions.
- that all pupils have regular opportunities to complete independent creative writing tasks to show progression of skills and support assessment.
- that Evidence for Learning is used to record Speaking & Listening examples to show progress and development over time. Written work will reflect the range of skills based tasks and creative writing opportunities for assessment and moderation purposes.
The expectation is that all students on the Pioneers Pathway have a discrete session for 15 minutes each day throughout Key Stages 1, 2 and 3.
