@JamieGBarry @SWLiteracy Thanks for this. @JamieGBarry do you use it all the way up to year 6? Am I right in thinking it turns into more of a spelling programme that links to the phonics learning?

@PrimaryCoHead @Headteacherchat Yes I have some experience of this and it’s something I’m pretty passionate about. Happy to discuss if you want to DM. We both worked 3 days and we worked together (in separate roles) for 6 years before creating our partnership.
