Implementing SSP in Year 1 & 2 Using PLD

The Presentation outlines:

  • How to implement PLD’s structured synthetic phonics (SSP) approach in Year 1 & 2.
  • How three levels of targeted teaching can be delivered to a class.
  • The teaching of decoding, fluency and the importance of decodable reading material.
  • Time-efficient reading and spelling assessments are designed to inform teaching plans so teachers can be more focused on their instruction.
  • Assessments and instruction for students not yet reading and spelling (i.e when operating at a pre-CVC level).
  • The adoption of the PLD’s tracking sheets in order to establish a plan for the upcoming term.
  • The presentation of phonic dictation passages as a facilitator of phonic concepts into extended written work.
