(Preface from Anseo.net) The following is an article written in January 2007, just before the launch of “Phonics International”, a synthetics phonics programme, which is online. Many Irish schools are using “Jolly Phonics”, which is a synthetic phonics programme and many of the items in this series will be very helpful to them, particularly after the initial stages of the programme. Those who have not bought into a synthetics phonics programme should also read with interest as “Phonics International” is renowned as being excellent. We welcome Kat2 to our team. Some readers may know her from the Education Posts forum, where her help has been greatly appreciated.
