What do the teachers and teaching assistants who have attended our courses recently think about the course?
- "I was fascinated at the simple approach to concepts which impede learning in other methods."


Sounds-Write is a quality first phonics programme and is acknowledged by the DfE as meeting all its criteria for an effective phonics teaching programme - see our entry on the DfE site for details. It is an exciting and highly successful approach to the teaching of reading, spelling and writing. Our very highly-rated, intensive courses have now been attended by over seven thousand classroom practitioners, educational psychologists and members of local authority support teams. The programme is already being used extensively in primary and secondary schools throughout Britain, Northern Ireland, the Irish Republic, Australia, Zambia and Papua New Guinea. And we are now on Facebook.
The DfE sent an inspector to monitor a Sounds-Write course in January 2012. If you are interested in evaluating phonics programmes, you will want to read this complete, unedited copy of the report.
Sounds-Write 4- and 5-day phonics courses in England are eligible for the government's new match-funding (or 'matched funding') scheme. For details of this and how to apply, please refer to this page on the DfE website.
