Oxford Reading Tree - includes resources for the Full Floppy's Phonics programme

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."

I’m noting an OBSESSION trickling through (or it it a tsunami?) about listing precise common/tricky words in phonics provision/programmes! Please STOP this. It is SO SIMPLE to address any words that arise in and beyond any phonics programme.

@carpenter_rob @LeadingLearner The tone & focus of Ofsted is totally wrong. How can the perception of 1 child in 600 as not being engaged without understanding the child’s circumstances or any of these other examples be a cause for concern?

Cubist inspired sculpture work today from the lovely VI form artists from Kingsbridge College in Devon. Due to COVID these kids have had less practical time, worked independently, remotely, lost use of their art rooms but are still talented, resilient, enthusiastic and driven. 🤩

@DavidAyer @stpaulsshet @debbiehepp Before judging from 1 photo, you might like to study this school's entire Twitter feed. They use content-rich Phonics International by @debbiehepp & get lots of practice in reading, spelling & writing at word, sentence & text level. This is hardworking school doing great things.
