Christopher is a changed boy… thanks to phonics!
Before its introduction, Christopher was struggling to read and write. But since the phonics programme was introduced towards the end of 2015, his reading really took off. By the end of 2016, he was the strongest reader in his class, and was always looking for a book to read! He has just moved up from nursery to join Primary 1 class… that’s him with head teacher Scovia and class teacher Irene.
Mum Evelyn said: “My son joined school at the age of 4yrs and he had behavioural challenges that were affecting his learning at school. His performance was low and the teachers advised that he should be retained in middle class for an extra term to better his performance.”
At around this time, the new phonics programme was introduced. Christopher improved, and then excelled, becoming one of the best performing children in his class. We hope he continues to enjoy reading, and look forward to seeing how he progresses through primary and beyond.
