Funding for Phonics Products and Training for KS1 New
The Government match funding scheme for new phonics products and training went ‘live’ in September 2011 with the publication of the phonics catalogue of approved products and services. Under the scheme, any state-funded school with Key Stage 1 pupils – including Academies and Free Schools – can claim up to £3,000 to buy products and training until March 2013.
The products include a range of teaching resources, including books, software and games. Additionally, schools can book phonics training for their staff to improve their teaching of phonics, the method internationally proven to improve reading, especially among younger children.
