32. Every day Children are provided with: Opportunities throughout the day to engage in independently in speaking, listening, reading and writing activities across the curriculum Interactive multi-sensory phonics session Session led by the practitioner of shared reading and / or shared writing Opportunities to hear a wide-ranging selection of stories, poems, rhymes and non-fiction

33. Model for daily teaching of phonics skills and knowledge REVIST AND REVIEW recently and previously learned phoneme-grapheme correspondences, and blending and segmenting skills as appropriate TEACH new phoneme-grapheme correspondences; skills of blending and segmenting PRACTISE new phoneme-grapheme correspondences; skills of blending and segmenting APPLY new knowledge and skills while reading/writing
