Guest Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi All... I haven't been on here for a while (ages, actually) due to one reason or another... ... one of those being that I have been developing this : www.porlsfonycs.com ... and the other that I have taken a sabbatical from teaching in England to give 'teaching in Canada' a go. Anyhow, it's taken me about a year to develop, test, receive feedback, re-develop, and now launch, so it'd be good to know what you guys think of it... I developed it because as a teacher myself in the FS, I decided there was a definite need for a comprehensive, easy-to-use, meaningful assessment tool... so here it is... ... and hopefully some of you will even decide to use it! Nice to be back on here... hope everyone's doing okay Porl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) We have been using Nicky Byrne's planning for the last 4 wks and it is very good. It does have a lot to fit in the 15min session but we have adapted it to suit our situation. Plus the Apply ideas are great for small group activities. It has saved me time and enabled me to concentrate on others areas of the curriulum. Hi, Have been looking at Nicky's planning with interest. This year we are grouping our phonics into 5 ability groups - most of which will be on diff phases. I am responsible for planning for three of these groups (not getting any extra time either) and this planning is really going to help me out. I was just wondering when you refer to the apply activities what are you actually meaning? As far as I can see there are weekly plans for phase one (not following the review, teach, practice, apply model) and then an overview of each of the phases. Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks Edited October 14, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Nicky was selling the rest of the planning on ebay but it has been bought by LCP who are going to publish it at a cost of £40 according to the TES site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 You'll need to look at TES resource bank. Unless they've been removed as I believe they are awaiting publication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 How's teaching in Canada going Paul? A beautiful country...what's the education system like? Umm...
