For those of us who teach phonics, the DfE have published a report covering key findings and noting comments from teachers.

It is worth looking at, especially if  you have an interview coming up soon. In particular, you might be interested to see that most schools appear to be using other strategies alongside phonics and ‘more often than not’ it is the Letters and Sounds programme that is in place.
