Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Hello, we are starting to use letters and sounds this year and we are struggling to see how to plan our literacy sessions to include this. Does anyone have any tips or planning formats, i.e. medium term plans and weekly plans that would help us get on idea of how we can do this? Thanks you
Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 I have a completely separate plan for phonics. There are lots of plan already posted on here- try doing a search for previous posts.

Guest Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Hi there, Would just like to add a comment about planning phonics etc. into a Reception Timetable. I also teach Reception and struggle constantly to fit everything in to each day and week. The list is endless - phonics, literacy, mathematics, Assemblies, playtimes (with rest of Infant children), outdoor provision, child initiated, physical, creative, etc. etc. I have 30 children in my class with a part-time TA and they have just had their first full day in school today - and from my point of view I feel it has been a nightmare!! Rushing from this to that and back to something else. Surely this can't be right for such young children? This happens every year, when my heart is telling me to do one thing but yet pressure makes me feel I should do it another way. Sorry for the rant, but I just get so frustrated, bewildered and confused. I am attending a Letters and Sounds training on Wednesday morning, so no doubt I will be even more frustrated, bewildered and confused!!!!
