Intoducing a new catalogue of Phonics materials and training.
The Government is committed to raising standards in literacy.
Getting the fundamentals right at an early age, in particular teaching children to read through systematic synthetic phonics, will help to ensure that children leave school with a lifelong love of reading and the necessary skills to succeed in life.
Pro 5, of which West Mercia Supplies is a member, has conducted an EU compliant tendering process utilising the expertise of the DfE to bring you a catalogue of products to support you in raising standards in literacy.
The match-funding available through this catalogue is part of the Government’s strategy to meet this commitment.
Up to £3000 is available, to be matched by the school, until March 2013 (for a total spend of £6000). Schools are free to order materials and training over this value, but will only receive match-funding up to the £3000 figure.
All state-funded schools in England with Key Stage 1 pupils, including Academies and Free Schools are eligible for this funding.
All items and training listed in this catalogue are suitable for use with Key Stage 1 pupils and have been assessed as meeting the Department for Education’s ‘Core Criteria’ for Assuring High-Quality Phonic Work.
