Oxford Seminar on Phonics in Madrid
Workshop- 25/02 or 03/03
Phonics is in!
Phonics is in - but so are all the doubts, fears and questions that come with it. How can you teach the sounds, how can you help the children to blend them into words, how can you explain all those inconsistencies that traditionally present so many problems? Children who master phonics are successful readers, but a teacher who feels comfortable with phonics is a teacher who can have a great deal of fun. Come and learn. Come and have fun!
