The Phonics Playbook

This practical playbook offers the resources necessary to build critical fluency and comprehension skills through lessons that weave phonics concepts into vocabulary and book reading activities.

The Structured Literacy Playbook is a practical framework for planning and delivering targeted instruction, coupled with pre-planned lessons for pupils across the stages of word reading development.

The content follows a teacher-friendly format by centralising each chapter around a series of lessons accompanying Phonic Books decodable texts and offering instruction across foundational word knowledge. Descriptions and rationale for instructional routines are brief and well-illustrated, and teachers can access supplemental lesson materials through a QR code printed inside.

This practical teacher guide offers:

• Helpful QR codes that link to videos showing how to implement the activities included.
• Ideas and activities throughout the book that can be used with any phonics programme.
• Content written by expert authors that addresses diverse learning needs through implementation science.

As educators enhance their understanding of evidence-based literacy practices, The Structured Literacy Playbook will provide essential resources to develop critical fluency and comprehension skills through lessons that integrate phonics concepts with reading activities and vocabulary.
