Reading Planet Online: Rocket Phonics

The response to the scheme from every teacher at the school has been excitement. They’re amazed at the children’s progress.

We are now in the best position we have ever been with regards to phonics and reading. We have transformed the attitude towards phonics amongst our adults in school (who now believe children ‘can’ do it!) and our children (who now believe phonics is fun!).

My preschool staff are really enjoying teaching the phonics scheme! The children are really enjoying learning the sounds. I’m having to go in all the time and see the children as they keep wanting to tell me what sound they are learning that day!

As teachers, we love the way that aspects of grammar, spelling and handwriting are interwoven into the scheme allowing all these elements to be addressed without having to find more time within an already stretched timetable.

The materials are clear, linear and distraction free and the small, cumulative steps benefit all pupils. Teacher workload in relation to phonics tuition is significantly reduced as all of the materials and lesson plans are readily available and easily accessible. We would highly recommend the Rocket Phonics programme!
