Please note that the systematic phonics teaching principles required for foundational reading and spelling skills are the same regardless of the age of the learners. Some programmes or resources are suitable, or designed, for young learners only, whereas other programmes and resources are designed for older learners or can be used flexibly for any age learner.
Mainstream programmes in the match funded catalogue: ‘The Importance of phonics – A catalogue of systematic synthetic phonics products and training’
Linguistic Phonics Programmes: Similar to synthetic phonics programmes, these are based on teaching the alphabetic code, and its complexities, at the level of phonemes (the smallest units of sound)
