What Comes Before Phonics? Part 2

This 3-part series will focus on all aspects of the iceberg - why each area is an important building block towards reading and writing and will explore how our settings can provide the best.
In Part Two, we look at the bottom of the iceberg – spoken language, metalinguistic awareness and physical awareness and integration.
A concise, practical read for busy Early Years practitioners.

Because phonics doesn’t start with print — it starts with sound.
