Stephanie Hammond – Rhymes to Reading: Building Pre-Phonics Skills in the Early Years

How do children develop the foundations for successful reading long before formal phonics begins?

This webinar explores the crucial pre-phonics skills that underpin later literacy development, with a particular focus on phonological awareness. Designed for early years practitioners, the session will examine how everyday interactions, songs, rhymes and stories help children tune into the sounds of language and prepare for phonics instruction.
