Unlocking Letters and Sounds

Your key to teaching every child to be a fluent and confident reader. A DfE validated phonics programme.

[Unlocking Letters and Sounds @UnlockingLS]

Calling all ULS Phonics Leaders! Our first Essential Termly Update twilight is 30/9/24 3.45pm. Come along to check you are giving all your pupils the strongest start to the new academic year. See the training section of the ULS platform to book.

We are seeing some fantastic results in schools using our new handwriting resources and planning. This is included in your annual subscription - check out the handwringing tab and don’t forget to watch the introduction film.

It’s sad to see children not being taught to read in the most effective way. ULS can support schools in Wales who are looking to improve children’s reading. https://t.co/ZjvWCHBknk.

[Unlocking Letters and Sounds @UnlockingLS]

Welcome back to all our ULS schools! We hope your first week back has been brilliant and your phonics teaching has got off to a strong start. Our newsletter has been sent to all schools and is also on the ULS platform.

This is why every ULS guided reading plan has direct instruction and opportunities for children to practice and develop their reading prosody.

[Penelope Slater @mrspennyslater]

Increasingly noting that prosody is being overshadowed in the fluency conversation with a blinkered focus on accuracy & automaticity. These are crucial elements but if prosody isn't a focus, then too many chn end up as expert decoders, not real readers.
