—————————————————————————-
The training covers the following content (broad headings provided):

Session One: 

  • Evaluation of the Floppy’s Phonics programme
  • The Year One phonics screening check
  • English has an ‘opaque’ alphabetic code and it is complex to teach
  • Teaching reading well regardless of children’s backgrounds, needs or abilities
  • The need for a change of perception of ‘phonics’ for spelling and reading
  • The Systematic Synthetic Phonics Teaching Principles
  • Model of the three phonics core skills and their sub-skills
  • The Phonics Skills
  • Reflecting on the phonics ‘teaching and learning cycle’; the ‘maths of the phonics’; time considerations; display, delivery and progression

Session Two: 

How Floppy’s Phonics can support effective teaching in phonics – an overview of the resources and guidance:
  • Debbie’s two-pronged approach to synthetic phonics teaching – systematic and incidental
  • Floppy’s Phonics two-session ‘teaching and learning sequence’
  • Catering for differentiation in manageable ways
  • Resources overview
  • The Alphabetic Code Chart makes the code ‘tangible’ for everyone
  • Distinguishing between the alphabetic code and the alphabet
  • The importance of the Phonics Folder for every learner
  • The ‘Phonics Hand Routines’ in detail
  • The sounds of the English language (mainly phoneme level)
  • More about incidental teaching
  • Visual display
  • Skipping words and ‘look-alike reading’ – worrying under the radar reading profiles
Key points underpinning the rationale of the Floppy’s Phonics programme:
  • Where to look for research, information and developments in the field
  • The Five Pillars of Literacy
  • ‘Independent review of the teaching of early reading’ (Sir Jim Rose, 2006)
  • Practical use of the Simple View of Reading diagram (and Writing)
  • The ill-advised multi-cueing reading model
  • Patterns of practice – how does phonics and reading provision typically vary?
  • Multilingual contexts
  • Floppy’s Phonics is picture-rich for oral language – not just ‘phonics’
  • Informing parents
  • Assessment: for placement; formal record keeping; ongoing informal tracking shared with the children (engaging children fully with a sense of their own learning with resources belonging to them)

Session Three:  (Videos 1 and 2)

  • Taking just one sound (phoneme /j/) of the 50 units of sound shown on the Alphabetic Code Chart to illustrate the breadth and depth of content in the Floppy’s Phonics programme
  • Outlining the Floppy’s Phonics ‘teaching and learning sequence’ in practice (session 1 and session 2)

Filming:

Debbie models and elaborates on the Floppy’s Phonics two discrete sessions of the ‘teaching and learning sequence’ in practice

Some important points to note:
  • You have full access to the pre-recorded sessions for a period of 12 months from date of purchase. After this time, your password will become inactive.
  • The video sessions are ‘streamed’ – not downloaded or delivered in other forms (i.e., DVD). This necessarily requires a stable internet connection and a good broadband speed for the best viewing experience. Should ‘buffering’ be an issue, please read the notes below.
  • The video sessions are intended strictly for your school use only – i.e., access password not to be distributed for ‘home viewing’ amongst staff, or shared with other schools/organisations. We believe our 12 month licensed access to the video sessions gives ample opportunity for staff to view the material as a whole school as many times as is necessary without the need for it to be viewed ‘teacher-by-teacher’ at home. The main reasons for this is a) to protect our copyrighted material and b) to keep the load on our servers to a manageable level. Obviously 30, 40 or 50+ individual ‘viewings’ is a far greater load on the server than a single whole school viewing – even if viewed several times over the period of your 12 month licence. Thank you.
