Jolly Phonics: examining phonics as a central foundation in teaching children to read
 
 
 


UPDATED FOR 2010 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH JOLLY LEARNING - BRAND NEW CONTENT

This self-paced on-line course looks at how children learn to read and how phonics underpins this process. You will be introduced to the basics of phonics teaching and successful approaches that can be utilised. Programmes that utilise the synthetic phonics approach are examined along with the links between phonics and spelling. You will also become familiar with the findings of some major recent reports into how children learn to read.

The on-line format of the course enables you to study when and where you want to learn. Content is divided into 5 modules which you can complete in any order between July 1st and August 27th 2010.

Participants are encouraged to interact with one another using the communication tools (forum, chat, e-mail) provided by the CPD College learning system. Active facilitation throughout the course provides expert interaction, guidance and feedback for all participants. Assignments and questions which call for critical reflection, self-analysis and a reasoned response punctuate this highly interactive web based course.

"I am very impressed with what you are doing and I can see it having far reaching value for teachers and for education"
