What comes before phonics? The teaching of phonics is now strongly
embedded in early literacy teaching in schools and early years
settings, and it has been shown to be an important part of becoming
literate. There is, however, significant concern about the
formalising of phonics teaching for very young children. So what
should we be focusing on in early years? What comes before this
formal teaching? What do children need to know and experience to
enable them to access phonics teaching with success? This book
looks in detail at the knowledge, understanding, skills and
attitudes that children need to enable them to come to phonics
teaching ready to learn and with a good chance of success. The
second edition has been updated to include the latest research and
enhanced support on working with parents and carers.

This essential text for primary trainees and teachers examines the
key skill of writing beyond the earliest school years. Teaching
writing involves much more than simply teaching the mechanics of
spelling, grammar and punctuation, important though these are.
There are particular issues around writing in school, including the
fact that children's writing consistently lags behind their reading
in external tests such as SATs, boys' relative lack of success and
teachers' lack of confidence in modelling writing. This book
addresses these topics as well as focusing on other pertinent
practice issues such as working with proficient writers, engaging
disengaged writers and working with children who have EAL and SEN.
