Unlocking Letters and Sounds

Calling all ULS Phonics Leaders! Our first Essential Termly Update twilight is 30/9/24 3.45pm. Come along to check you are giving all your pupils the strongest start to the new academic year. See the training section of the ULS platform to book.

We are seeing some fantastic results in schools using our new handwriting resources and planning. This is included in your annual subscription - check out the handwringing tab and don’t forget to watch the introduction film.

It’s sad to see children not being taught to read in the most effective way. ULS can support schools in Wales who are looking to improve children’s reading. itv.com/news/2024-09-2….

Welcome back to all our ULS schools! We hope your first week back has been brilliant and your phonics teaching has got off to a strong start. Our newsletter has been sent to all schools and is also on the ULS platform.

This is why every ULS guided reading plan has direct instruction and opportunities for children to practice and develop their reading prosody.

Our trainers are busy delivering CPD to schools using Unlocking. We are filling up quickly for September 2023 INSETs so do get in touch if you are looking for expert whole school training BOOK HERE: forms.office.com/r/i1T61G4C7y

The recording from yesterday's Phonics Leader network is now on the ULS platform (in the training section). Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

We’ve posted our Term 1 update to the named contact at ULS schools and also put in in the Help/ FAQs section of the portal.
