The guide provides an overview of phonics, an overview of the Phonic Books Dandelion range, assessment, and guidance for pronunciation, letter formation and high-frequency words. There are also structured lesson plans for varying amounts of time. These plans are full of engaging and effective activities which are easy to implement. Each lesson is divided into five main sections: Revision, Preparation, Application, Consolidation, and Tracking Progress. This enables each lesson to meet the phonics requirements, as well as more general literacy requirements and ensure students are concurrently learning how to read for meaning from the start.
