Headteacher's Testimonial

Testimonial from Sam Bailey in 2013:

"Debbie has crafted magic, creating an approach to phonics that - put simply - works! Adopting Floppy's Phonics Sounds and Letters in 2011, we were delighted that 70% of our Y1 pupils secured the pass rate. In 2013, this has risen to 93%, and KS1 standards in reading, writing (and maths!) are up as the children are engaged, focused, motivated learners. This isn't about phonics - it's a pedagogical approach based on expectation, challenge, autonomy and rigour. The kids love it - and so do the staff!"

Update to Debbie from Sam 2014:

"Our first Floppy's Phonics cohort (Reception 2011) are due to graduate from Y2 this summer - 98% are L2+ in Reading, and 40% L3+.
Our previous baseline, you may remember, was 50% L2+ and less than 10% L3.

Our 2014 Y1 phonics results are 98%! Amazing!

This stuff seriously WORKS - but then you know that!"

Sam Bailey, Headteacher, Cookridge Primary School, Leeds

We look forward to hearing more from Sam in the future as she has now taken up a headship in another school…

Review of Floppy’s Phonics by ‘Teach Primary’ Magazine

Untitled Document

"Written by phonics expert Debbie Hepplewhite, this is a complete, stand-alone early years programme, and the best I’ve seen on the market by a country mile. Outstanding. In a word, that’s what the new Oxford Reading Tree Floppy’s Phonics Sounds and Letters resource is. The resources are rich in variety and oozing with class. This must be what a Rolls Royce feels like to drive. The luxury end of the market normally has a high price tag but the Oxford Reading Tree resources are decently priced and well within budget and you can mix and match as needed. It’s not a bad time to be an early years learner or teacher. Highly recommended."

Many years ago, I realised that people used the word 'analytic' with different 'understanding'. You are right, Monique, there is the analytic phonics approach and there is analysing a spoken word into its constituent phonemes for spelling - very different!

Monique@GovTutor

@Philip_EP @SaraJPeden @EdInspire @debbiehepp His use of the term ‘analytic’ stems from teaching children to analyse oral words into individual phonemes. This is not what is meant by 'analytic phonics'

This is not officially condoned. The people out on the town are responsible for disregarding caution.

I know you don’t care #Borisjohnson , but this is what opening bars and pubs without restrictions does. Don’t tell me you are trying to protect the NHS. Can’t have a wedding, can’t have a civilised dinner party at home, but this is fine. God help us.

Again, you are referring to SSP as if it is ‘one thing’. There are SSP ‘teaching principles’ but research organisations ( @educationgovuk ) have yet to have the interest or scientific wherewithal to test current SSP & linguistic programmes. @EducEndowFoundn

Philip MacMillan@Philip_EP

@SaraJPeden @londonjohn9 @EdInspire @debbiehepp I suppotr of SSP but it does not work for all and this needs to be recognized and accepted. If SSP has not worked by the end of Yr 1 (grade 1) try analytic/ linguistic phonics. The problem is that there is a lack of materials and methods available certainly for younger children.

A number of people who have scientific & analytic thinking have grave worries about at least some of the projects of the @EducEndowFoundn - so much so that this surely warrants an official investigation to hold the EEF to account. Long overdue. @Ofstednews

Katherine Wang@katiebillington

@debbiehepp Not just Adult Ed. EEF gives the advice to try other intrvns at age 10 if phonics isn't working.
Many schs have weak L&S & no quality phonics intrvn for low readers, upon which basis they decide Low Readers don't get Phonics!
25% are still leave sch with low literacy.

Thank you.

EdInspire@EdInspire

@MenTeachPrimary @MrsHgrps I would definitely suggest looking at the excellent programmes from @debbiehepp Her own programme is phonicsinternational and she wrote the floppy phonics programme as well. Well worth a proper look. Debbie also provides all the links you would need.

I totally disapprove and despair about all the 'must catch up' and 'the gaps are getting wider' and 'narrowing the curriculum' ethos right now. If suspending exams diminishes this, I think that's a good thing. Alarmist, edu/poli folk should back off.

Reviewer #3 would say: This paper simply combines running and bike riding, neither of which is considered new. https://twitter.com/RexChapman/status/1278812226107957249

I hope you review the DfE validated programmes to better understand them so you can decide for yourself. If this was a most commonly used issue you would stick with Letters and Sounds - the ‘programme’ that did not provide you with resources!

Men Teach Primary #EduMTP 🚶🏻‍♂️👔📈🧮@MenTeachPrimary

Considering reviewing our school phonics scheme! Currently using Letters & Sounds. Which scheme would you recommend? Please comment below as I would love to know what works well for you and why? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you! RT 😁👍🏻👇🏻

@RobMarchetto @GMastersACER @smh @PaulKiem Scottish teachers believe differentiating is good teaching practice. In reality dumbing down work to the child's reading level is unethical. They should be using evidenced based teaching methods to make sure every child can read and write.
