The Total School kit has been curated as a complete Science of reading ecosystem, validated by the DfE as an approved systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme. The Teacher Planners are at the center of this kit with multiple copies across Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. The planners provide daily and weekly lesson plans based on the progression of our complete systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme. A calendar in the front maps out all the lessons for the year. Resources included are designed to work according to the daily lessons as the letters are introduced, rather than consolidated at the end of the phase. The Teacher Planners also bring in decodable readers and introduces these closely after letter sounds have been taught to apply newly learnt letter knowledge to real reading. 12-Book Decodable Reader Sets – Partnering with Beanstalk Books has meant that we are able to offer the world’s largest range of Decodable Readers. This large kit represents exceptional value for money on the 12-Book Decodable Reader Sets. See the 'Kit Components' tab for exact quantities of each. Our phonics programme is designed to follow children through Nursery to Year 2 (Phases 1 to 6). It includes a progression of Common Exception Words (also termed Heart Words or tricky words) alongside letter progression, allowing children to encounter words with different spelling patterns but similar phonemes. Our programme has the largest collection of decodable readers and supplementary resources – all following this progression.
