High-Quality Instruction

Building Strong Foundations for All Learners

High-Quality Classroom Instruction:

Tier 1

All pupils receive structured, high-quality instruction through the Jolly Phonics programme (Steps 1, 2 and 3) as part of their daily classroom learning. This first tier provides every child with a strong foundation in reading and writing by introducing letter sounds in a systematic, engaging and multisensory way. At this level, teaching is delivered to the whole class and includes repetition, daily review and frequent opportunities to practise and apply new skills throughout the day.

At a Glance:

  • Teaching with fidelity through the Jolly Phonics programme
  • Embed repetition and daily review in every session
  • Cross-curricular integration of phonics throughout the school day
  • Integrate phonics across the school day through quick routines and playful opportunities
  • Build confidence and automaticity through regular oral, visual and written recall

Want to reinforce learning throughout the day?

Fun, low-prep station activities that weave extra practice into daily routines and keep learning active.

Creating Daily Routines for Continuous Reinforcement

Teacher guidance:

Build repetition into natural classroom transitions to keep phonics active and engaging – without adding extra lesson time. Short, frequent reviews strengthen recall and fluency, and help pupils see phonics as part of everything they do throughout the school day.
