​Phonics instruction is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Learners progress at different rates, and some may need more targeted support or a modified learning pathway to achieve their reading goals. Progression maps provide a structured way to monitor each learner’s progress, identify where they are struggling, and make adjustments to ensure they reach their full potential. In this blog, we’ll explore how to use Rocket Phonics progression maps to tailor phonics learning to individual needs.

​Reading is an essential skill that opens up a world of learning, imagination, and communication. However, for many learners, particularly those who struggle with reading, mastering this skill can feel like an uphill battle. Struggling readers often face a loss of confidence as they fall behind their peers. Fortunately, systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) provides a structured approach to literacy that not only helps struggling readers catch up but also rebuilds their confidence. In this blog, we’ll explore strategies for using phonics to build confidence in learners who find reading difficult.

​Every child learns at a different pace, and while some may excel in phonics quickly, others need more practice, more time, and additional support to truly grasp the concepts. Tailoring phonics instruction to individual needs is essential for ensuring that every learner makes progress. In this blog, we’ll explore how teachers can adapt their phonics instruction by giving learners exactly what they need to succeed: more practice, more time, or more support.

​Every classroom is filled with learners who come from different backgrounds and have varied learning needs. Some may grasp phonics concepts quickly, while others may struggle with the pace or need additional support. To ensure that every learner succeeds, adaptive teaching is essential—especially when it comes to phonics instruction. In this blog, we’ll explore the concept of adaptive teaching in the context of phonics and how to implement it effectively to support all learners.

​Teaching learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) can be both rewarding and challenging. When it comes to teaching reading and writing, systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) has emerged as the most effective method for learners across the ability spectrum, including those with SEND. In this blog, we will explore how phonics can be adapted to support learners with SEND and why it remains the best approach for their literacy development.

Phonics instruction is evolving, and resources like Target Practice Readers (TPRs) are playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of how we teach reading. As schools continue to prioritise phonics as a foundation for literacy, TPRs provide a structured, effective way to ensure students develop the phonics skills they need. In this blog post, we’ll explore the future of phonics instruction and how TPRs are helping educators meet the diverse needs of students in an increasingly digital and personalised learning environment.

Not all students progress at the same rate when learning to read. For some, additional support is needed to master letter-sounds and blending skills. Target Practice Readers (TPRs) are an excellent resource for providing intervention and earlier-level support to students who may be struggling with phonics. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how TPRs can be used effectively for interventions and to support students at earlier levels of reading development.

Not all students progress at the same pace when learning to read. For some, the process of blending sounds and decoding words can be particularly challenging. Target Practice Readers (TPRs) are a powerful resource for helping struggling readers develop the skills they need to succeed. In this post, we’ll discuss how to use TPRs to support struggling readers and provide targeted interventions.
