Last year I reported on St George’s CE Primary School’s success – they achieved a magnificent 96.5% success rate in the phonics screening check. St George’s is in Wandsworth, where the average pass rate was 66%.

There is little doubt what the head teacher Janet Hillary thinks of the Sounds-Write programme for teaching beginning readers and readers who need catching up, as well as its contribution to the school’s success. She says:
“As a class programme, Sounds-Write is clearer, with more flow and better outcomes, than other programmes we have used in the past. Used as an intervention, Sounds-Write is invaluable to older pupils arriving in school – particularly those who are new to English. The programme enables children to become fluent readers quickly so that they can access learning and catch up with their peers.”
