Rocket Phonics uses a straightforward approach to create transformative results: steady pace, whole-class teaching and consistent daily practice. We expect and encourage teachers to make suitable adaptations; you know what is best for your learners. But generally, our schools report that they achieve the best results when they implement the Rocket Phonics pedagogy.
It can be challenging to teach phonics in a different way which is why we recommend schools complete a minimum of 1-day of CPD training with Abigail Steel Training. Our Get Started with Rocket Phonics 1-day course will provide a solid foundation for all staff ensuring they feel confident and knowledgeable in delivering our approach with impact. Ongoing professional
development is also key to ongoing phonics success; we provide a range of additional courses to support different needs from teaching lower attainers to leadership development.
“I particularly liked the fact that the training addressed the questions we’d sent beforehand; we came away feeling like the session worked well for us as a school, even though Rocket
Phonics is so widely used.”
Kate Brown – Deputy Headteacher, Thurlstone Primary School
