Phonics Programmes (SSP)

A complete SSP programme includes:

• Everything you need to teach systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) effectively from Reception

• Support that helps children in these early years become confident, fluent readers

• A clear, structured pathway to help most children meet — and often exceed — the expected standard in the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check

• Full coverage of National Curriculum expectations for word reading through decoding by the end of Key Stage 1

We’re here to help! If your school is thinking about moving to a validated programme, please do get in touch – we’re happy to offer advice and support. Some schools may also be eligible for funding to help with the transition.
