section_headers: English: early years
section_content: Phonics
Evidence shows that learning phonics is most effective when children are
taught by following a single programme exclusively, rather than mixing them
up. If parents are to support their child’s phonics learning during school
closure, schools should try, as far as possible, to provide materials from the
same programme as they use in school.
The DfE’s validated phonics programmes, and their resources, are listed below.
Some schools will use programmes not on this list and should explore what
materials are available by visiting the website for that programme.
