| Event Summary | Do teachers and support staff working in KS2 have the phonics knowledge to support struggling learners with reading, particularly in view of all they have missed this year, in addition to building on prior knowledge to deliver the KS2 spelling curriculum to all pupils? This course aims to address these issues. |

| Event description | This year more than ever it is essential that teachers and support staff working in KS2, particularly Year 3, have the phonics knowledge required to support pupils who are working below age related expectations in reading and ensure they make rapid progress. The course will focus on two elements: • Phonics as a strategy for spelling for all pupils We will consider what pupils are expected to know when they enter Y3 and look at how teachers can assess phonic knowledge in order to identify gaps in learning and support the small number of pupils who need specific ongoing teaching of phonics. We will then examine the skills needed to ensure all pupils continue to make effective use of phonics, when appropriate, as a strategy for spelling before exploring the spelling objectives from the KS2 curriculum which specifically link to phonics - for example the Y3 / 4 objective on the spelling patterns ei / ey / eigh. Practical ideas and activities for teaching these objectives will be shared. |
