Red Rose Letters and Sounds Programme
Full Planning Programme

This planning programme has been developed, continuously evaluated and refined over several years, using the expertise of effective classroom practitioners and phonics experts at LPDS.
The programme includes planning from Phase 2 to Phase 5 with specific daily sessions and a very rigorous approach to meet, and exceed. expectations based on the Early Learning Goals and the National Curriculum for Year One.
Red Rose Communication, Language and Literacy, Phonological Awareness - Phase 1
Planning Programme
"Following training and an introduction to the programme, the staff are now all highly motivated and knowledgeable in their role of developing children's phonological awareness skills. Staff are now confident in using the skills tracker and know where the children need to be, to be ready for the next stage in their learning. The consistency of communication, language and literacy teaching across the nursery school has improved and the sessions are fun and engaging."
Headteacher, Staghills Nursery School
Red Rose Bounce Back Phonics
Catch Up Planning Programme - Phase 4 - 5
"After attending recent training and implementing Red Rose Bounce Back Phonics, our TAs are confident in delivering quality catch up phonics sessions to our children in Key Stage 2. In a short space of time our children are making accelerated progress and are applying their phonics knowledge in their reading and writing more accurately."
Headteacher, Lancashire Primary School
Red Rose Fast Track Phonics
