Award-winning 'Time for Phonics' available to Espresso
users from September
BATH,
England, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Global edtech leader Discovery Education today announced plans
to integrate the Department for Education (DfE)-validated 'Time
for Phonics' programme into Espresso, its daily learning
platform for primary schools. These exciting new resources will
empower teachers to deliver high-quality phonics lessons that meet
National Curriculum requirements and support children to become
fluent readers.
Available to Espresso users from September, 'Time for Phonics
by Discovery Education' will give schools a complete suite of
resources to teach systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) to pupils in
Reception and KS1. Following the Letters and Sounds progression,
the activity-based, time-saving programme – winner of a Teach Early
Years Award – makes phonics enjoyable to teach and learn and helps
children make rapid progress in reading.
Featuring fun bite-sized lessons, decodable texts, in-class
assessments and full teaching support, 'Time for Phonics by
Discovery Education' is ideal for teachers who are new to
phonics or seeking fresh ideas to build knowledge and confidence.
With easy-to-follow lesson plans and fun hands-on activities, the
programme provides a structured route to prepare pupils for the
Year 1 Phonics Screening Check, while helping them to meet or
exceed National Curriculum reading expectations.
The new 'Time for Phonics by Discovery Education'
programme will complement Espresso's existing phonics resources to
make it easy for teachers to create high-quality lessons and
assessments, tailored to every level.
"We're excited to integrate these DfE-validated, award-winning
resources into Espresso's rich library of content", said
Michael Savitz, Discovery
Education's UK and International General Manager. "With our
complete suite of resources in hand, teachers will have everything
they need in one place to deliver engaging lessons and teach
phonics with confidence."
Created by teachers for teachers, 'Time for Phonics by
Discovery Education' is a DfE-validated SSP programme.
DfE-validation is achieved via rigorous assessment, and validated
programmes are deemed to provide teachers with an effective and
complete programme of teaching and learning for SSP in Reception
and KS1.
