Phonics in the news

23 March 2021

"Children in the early years of primary school will be taught to use phonics to sound out words as they learn to read and encouraged to practise by reading a special type of book under a new literacy syllabus proposed by the NSW Education Standards Authority. 

In maths, there will be more focus on ensuring students understand how they arrive at an answer, which is known as mathematical reasoning."
