Sounds Together

Sounds Together is a complete, systematic, synthetic phonics programme for use in Reception and KS1. The Programme is the 'step-up' from 'Letters and Sounds'. It provides a fresh, thorough and systematic approach to teaching and learning phonics that builds on previous professional experience and understanding, without requiring teachers to 'unlearn' the positive principles and methods of 'Letters and Sounds'. Sounds Together has its roots in 'Letters and Sounds', but has been extensively developed and creatively elaborated in the light of all the feedback and learning from the thousands of schools that used 'Letters and Sounds' in the national 'Communication, Language and Literacy Development Programme' (CLLD). Sounds Together is the only fully DFE approved phonics programme to draw on this knowledge base. Sounds Together, with its strength of structure, guidance and support, makes phonics teaching and learning consistent, engaging and effective from its beginning in YR, right through to KS1. Some key features Sounds Together sets out the complete sequence of all the phonic knowledge and skills that need to be taught to meet the requirements of the new National Curriculum. It provides strong classroom support for teachers because it includes fully detailed planning for each session of the Programme in Reception and KS1. The planning has been carefully designed to ensure that previous learning is progressive and cumulative and is repeatedly revisited and reinforced. The planning is completely integrated with a full suite of on-screen resources for the interactive whiteboard (Smart Boards only). It's easy to use because the planning fully describes each step of the teaching sequence for each day's phonics session. It's engaging for children because the teaching resources for each session include vivid interactive whiteboard materials that will capture children's attention and keep it focused on what they need to learn. It minimises the amount of time needed to prepare for each phonics session, because all the IWB materials needed are immediately ready for use for every single daily phonics session. The Programme includes an electronic library of decodable captions, sentences and other short texts that can be printed out as handy-sized reading cards. The Programme includes the materials children need to practise and apply their phonic knowledge and skills. There is also a wealth of extra IWB resources that can be used for additional practice, including materials for individual or group work. All the Sounds Together materials can be used with a complete class or smaller groups. The Programme is provided on disc, with an individual school licence that allows the school to make unlimited lifetime use of the materials, provided only that none of those materials are not shared, copied or passed on to a third party.

Stage 1: Hayley Poppleton, a qualified teacher from Cambridge University studied the impacts of tuition on student engagement and performance. Her dissertation found small-group tuition, delivered in-person, develops students' critical thinking and analytical skills far beyond one-to-one learning. The small-group environment creates a positive, competitive space, for the 'best learning' to be shared amongst students meaning each child hears the 'best response', the 'best answer' or the 'best method' from their peers. This practice increases the working grades of the group, who subsequently out-performed students receiving one-to-one tuition. Stage 2: Hayley further investigated how specific learning techniques in the small-groups could progress students further. Hayley found when tuition was delivered in a fun, engaging and hands-on way, making resources tangible and memorable students were significantly more engaged, remembered the learnt materials for longer periods and performed better than students who learnt from online resources. Her dissertation and findings received a distinction and an honoury message from the Dean at Cambridge University's Education Faculty. Stage 3: Other parents started to notice the improvement in their child from Hayley's small-group tuition method which led to Elite Tuition Cambridge. Today, we have helped over 115 students in Cambridgeshire by getting them to love the learning experience and progress beyond their targets.
