We caught up with @bphillipsonMP on her first visit as Education Secretary to @ArkSchools in Croydon, where she set out her early priorities for early years education and why it is at the centre of her vision for education to give all children the best start in life 🌻🎨

@SLT_Worcs @NAPLIC @victoriawad @DrHelenSLT @JacquiWoodcock @HackneyTalk @WordAware @BibianaWigley @sarah_mezey @marniecrew @speechiemsm @sharontuppenyot @PaulineDahp @Glennetal @VicRH75 Fantastic that the next generation are taking the research base forward building the evidence - as pioneers the models were developed to stretch and be aspirational - great example of the truth of implementation science re the time it takes for innovation to mainstream (17 yrs!)

@SLT_Worcs @NAPLIC @victoriawad @DrHelenSLT @JacquiWoodcock Model developed from the early days of school based provision in late 1990’s (feeling old 😂) and continues to evolve. Early implementation of principles in 2003 in @HackneyTalk with @WordAware among the team leaders. For chronology of useful context see https://t.co/0B8yJBE1PC

For children with reading difficulties the spelling system doesn't reflect what they are hearing very efficiently. They need direct teaching of the sound structure of speech at the level of syllables, rhymes and rhythm patterns. Not 'more of the same' government-approved phonics
A study recently concluded babies first learn language via rhythm and tone instead of phonetic information. Professor Usha Goswami shares more about the BabyRhythm project.
