Can I use any phonics programme I want?
Yes. The important thing is to use a phonics programme that meets the core criteria. If it doesn’t it is unlikely to provide a sound basis for teaching high quality, systematic phonics as recommended by the Rose Review. We hope schools and setting will give serious consideration to the core criteria because this is the best way of making sure that their chosen programme offers appropriate support and embeds the recommendations of the Review. But schools and settings are always free to use – or devise – any high quality phonics programme that fits their needs.go to top…………………………………………
