Red Rose Bounce Back Phonics

A systematic, synthetic phonics catch up planning programme following on from Red Rose Letters and Sounds.

This planning programme has been developed, evaluated and refined, using the expertise of effective classroom practitioners and phonics experts at LPDS.

The intent behind the programme is to provide rigorous and thorough planning to enable children in Year 2 and KS2, who are falling behind, to catch up with their phonic knowledge and application in reading and writing.

The programme includes:

• a baseline diagnostic screening for blending and segmenting sentences;

• an overview of the Phase 4 and Phase 5 Grapheme Phoneme Correspondences covered;

• carefully sequenced 12 weeks planning focusing on Phase 4 and the high value Grapheme Phoneme Correspondences from Phase 5;

• comprehensive daily lesson planning following the revisit/review, teach, practise and apply phonic teaching sequence;

• an opportunity to revisit all of Phase 2, 3, 4 and 5 Tricky Words, High Frequency Words and Common Exception Words (both decodable and non-decodable);

• word banks that directly match the teaching of focused graphemes. Plus, additional words to broaden vocabulary and to provide stretch and challenge;

• application opportunities planned throughout to ensure blending and segmenting of words and sentences;

• a detailed games document; and

• a comprehensive assessment tool which includes frequent reflection checkpoints.
