Phonics Intervention for Key Stage 3 Students 

Too many students are reaching secondary school without the basic literacy skills needed to successfully access the Key Stage 3 curriculum. In response to this crisis I've created a phonics intervention programme that is easy to use and importantly is presented in an age appropriate way. Watch my KS3 Phonics Teaching Resources video to find out more about how these books will transform your students' foundational literacy skills.

FAQs

Is KS3 Phonics validated by the DfE? 
There is no requirement for KS3 Phonics, nor phonics training/trainers, to be DfE validated. The SSP validation process was only applicable to mainstream infant programmes, however, AST Ltd is validated as a training company because of our partnership with Hodder publishers for Rocket Phonics, and Abigail Steel is a DfE validated phonics author.
We would like to order print copies of the materials but our organisation doesn't like us to order from Amazon, can you help?
Yes, you can order directly from us and we will deliver them to you. Use the contact form below to enquire about this. ​
We'd like someone to come to our school for the day to support us, but what would the agenda look like? 
We're flexible to fit training or consultancy sessions around your school day and we build the agenda with you to suit your requirements.
A typical day might be 2 hours of consultancy (a review of current practice) in the morning followed by 2 hours of training in the afternoon.
Another example might be 4 x 1 hour workshops starting at 9am or 10am with coffee breaks in between.
We're thinking about booking an online 2 hour webinar style training, what would the content of that session cover? 
  • How to use the KS3 Phonics materials 
  • Phonics subject knowledge (What is Phonics?)
  • How to be successful with teaching phonics
Does the 2 hour webinar need to be held at a particular time of day? 
We can work around your timings for a 2 hour webinar. Example start times could include 9.30am, 1pm or 3.30pm. 
We would like a bigger package of support - maybe two days in-school followed by some remote support, can you do that? 
Of course, get in touch and we can work around your requirements to deliver a bespoke package of training and support. 
What ongoing support do you offer? 
Contact us using the form below to book follow on consultancy support or further training (in-person or remote). We also have a YouTube channel with a KS3 Phonics playlist, and a members only Facebook group, The KS3 Phonics Club. 
We only want the KS3 Phonics materials and not any training, where can we get the PDF booklets? 
Research shows that phonics teaching and learning is more effective when teachers have received training, that's why we have combined an entry level package of the PDF materials along with the cost-and-time-effective solution of a pre-recorded video course. 
What is the content of the KS3 Phonics self-study video course? 
  • Why do KS3 learners need phonics? (32 mins)
  • Why will make our phonics teaching successful? (44 mins)
  • What is phonics (47 mins)
  • The English Alphabetic code (18 mins)
  • Measuring progress (22 mins)
  • Student workbooks 1 – 3 (20 mins each)
  • Teacher handbook (16 mins)
  • Phonics to support reading (54 mins)
  • Phonics to support spelling (67 mins)
Can we speak to any other organisations using these materials? 
Yes, we are currently collating some case studies for you, but in the meantime you can join our members Facebook group The KS3 Phonics Club to interact with other organisations who use the materials or have received training.  
We've got the KS3 Phonics video course but we can't see the materials, where are they? 
The PDF download for each booklet is located alongside each of the corresponding videos, for example, the Teacher Handbook PDF download is found directly underneath the Teacher Handbook video.
