We know how passionate you are about helping every child succeed, especially those who struggle with reading and writing. Failing to help children achieve literacy by age 11 has significant long-term consequences. In the UK, approximately 16% of adults are functionally illiterate, struggling with basic reading and writing tasks. This has a profound impact on their employment opportunities, with low literacy skills being linked to lower wages and higher unemployment rates.
According to a study by Pro Bono Economics, the cost of illiteracy to the UK economy is estimated to be around £2.5 billion per year due to lost productivity, increased welfare spending, and other social costs. Furthermore, children who struggle with literacy are more likely to leave school without qualifications, leading to a higher risk of social exclusion and mental health issues.
Addressing literacy early can break this cycle. With the Phonics Kit Bag, you have a powerful tool to make a significant difference in your students’ lives, setting them on a path to success and well-being.
Flexible and Comprehensive Support: We’ve designed the Phonics Kit Bag to adapt to the unique needs of each child. Its flexibility allows you to tailor your approach, ensuring that every student receives the support they need to thrive. The structure is tight enough to provide consistency but flexible enough to adjust based on your professional insight. Like you, we know each child is different and so a bespoke approach is important.
Engaging and Motivational Content: One of the standout features is our set of 38 captivating comics. These aren’t just fun; they’re integrated with core reading texts focusing on target graphemes. The comic book format is a game-changer for motivation and engagement, turning learning into an exciting adventure. Comics are less text-dense, making them easier to read, especially for struggling readers. They focus on words with the target grapheme, reinforcing specific learning goals while providing a more exciting and visually stimulating experience. The comics are character-driven, starting with a group of superheroes and then introducing a set of villains for them to always overcome!
Multi-Sensory Learning: We’ve incorporated tactile, visual, and active learning strategies. The magnetic letters, coloured graphemes on flashcards, and interactive comics cater to different learning styles, making it easier for children to grasp and retain new information.
Explicit Instruction and Scaffolding: Our approach includes clear, well-structured explanations and modelling. The programme is broken down into manageable steps, building confidence and skills incrementally.
Aligned with the SEND Code of Practice: The Phonics Kit Bag is structured, repetitive, flexible, and multisensory. It aligns perfectly with the SEND Code of Practice, which emphasizes the importance of tailored support and inclusive teaching strategies. Our kit is designed to ensure that children with special educational needs and disabilities receive high-quality, differentiated instruction. By breaking learning into smaller, manageable steps and incorporating multi-sensory elements, we provide a scaffolded approach that helps build confidence and mastery over time. This approach not only supports academic progress but also promotes a positive self-concept and a love for learning.
