Phonics intervention for KS3

Working with FFT, Little Wandle has developed an all-in-one Key Stage 3 phonics intervention and assessment programme. Tried and tested during a three-year pilot, Little Wandle Code systematically improves children’s decoding skills laying the foundations for them to become confident, fluent readers.

The need for reading intervention Right now, 25% of Year 7 students do not reach age-related expectations at the end of primary. For these struggling readers, every lesson in every subject is a challenge because they can’t read well enough. Left unaddressed, low literacy puts these children at serious risk of low self-esteem, poor behaviour and persistent absence now and lower earnings, possible unemployment and poor mental health in the future.

How it works With a subscription to Little Wandle Code, your school will have access to an easy-to-use online platform to: •

run a whole-cohort initial screen to identify exactly which Year 7s and new KS3

Developed with Professor Kate Cain, Lancaster University

joiners needs support •

complete diagnostic assessments of identified struggling readers to place them on the right intervention pathway: • Start - For students who are new to English or have SEND needs, little or no phonic knowledge • Grow - For students who have basic knowledge of the alphabetic code • Complete - For students who have gaps in phonic knowledge which might be masked by coping strategies

•

download fully resourced intervention sessions for direct instruction by a teacher or teaching assistant in small groups and taught in conjunction with the student workbooks

•

complete ongoing assessments plus summative assessments at the end of each pathway, with both individual and cohort reports

•

a separate ‘You as a Reader’ report reveals students’ attitudes to reading and genre preferences, giving leaders a set of clear next steps to develop reading for pleasure

Online training Non-specialist teachers can quickly build their knowledge to deliver successful phonics interventions with scripted lessons and an on-demand, video-based training programme.

The ‘You as a Reader’ report developed alongside Professor Teresa Cremin and Doctor Sarah Critten from the Open University

“It’s so well constructed and the resources are fantastic.

Pupils respond positively and it is easy to implement.”

Literacy and Intervention Lead, Garth Hill College

Reading

Student workbooks Students progress through the workbooks in the intervention sessions to secure their phonic knowledge. They then practise their decoding skills reading the stories in the anthologies.

Decodable anthologies In partnership with Little Wandle, we have produced age-appropriate, decodable anthologies that are exactly matched to the teaching units and systematic progression in Little Wandle Code.

Designed to look like the books their peers are reading, the anthologies include a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts, levelled practice and appealing visuals.

‘Here Too Spring Comes to Us with Open Arms’ by Caleb Femi

Full poem or extract with worksheets (KS4) or discussion questions to start guided conversations in the classroom

Here Too Spring Comes to Us with Open Arms

(KS5)

& it looks like this:

a few youngers sprawled like a deck of trick cards on the back stairs talking all that talk about any day now they’ll be taken under the wing of a dragon

little cousins unseen in the side pocket of the function plotting a sleepover if you ask my mum and I’ll ask yours they’ll say yes

twilight and three unbroken voices at the back of the bus flat earth theories flat asses flat shoes – sweet nonsense chatting

wickedest whine from Chantel and the boy would’ve fell on the dance floor if the arms of his bredrin didn’t hold him up (like scaffolding)

two men bouncing along the pavement through another eye they look like young dolphins slicing coastal waves

two schoolgirls walking down the street laughing nobody knows why

a room of unravelling ribbons reaching for the same microphone to spit over an eskimo instrumental

a boy smiles at the mirror welcoming a new strip of muscle breaking through the sheen of boyishness

a fresh pair of Air Jordans, clean like a smile and everywhere they touch is hallowed ground

a boy who takes pain like a stone looks up and imagines stars hanging in the night sky like meditating monks

Resources •

•

The poem takes us to spring on a South London estate. The use of ‘spring’ in the title references the tradition of poetry that welcomes the arrival of spring, a convention of Pastoral poetry and Romanticism.

However, this poem could be seen to be anti-pastoral, as the verse is relocated from the countryside to the city. Also, the title’s use of the adverb ‘too’ can be seen to challenge pastoral conventions. The inclusive first-person pronoun ‘us’ depicts a cohesive urban community to which the speaker belongs, again differing from pastoral poems about spring, in which the speaker often contemplates nature alone.

•

Where typically a poem about spring might focus on the transformation of the natural world in springtime, this poem focuses on people and the effect the season has on them. Spring has connotations of growth within nature, freedom and increased physical movement; in an urban setting this sense of possibilities and growth is shown through human community. The personification of spring ‘with Open Arms’ has religious connotations too, as though spring is a blessing for all.

•

The passage of time is a major focus of the poem: the change of the seasons, but also the transition from childhood to adulthood. Femi captures a moment in 21st-century Peckham in still life, pausing to provide a snapshot of what he hears and sees: children, teenagers, adults. The mood is anticipatory, as though something exciting is about to happen: cousins ‘plotting’ a sleepover, ‘youngers’ waiting for ‘any day now’. In the cycle of the seasons, spring is often associated with youth and adolescence, and has connotations of hope, growth and expectation. The poem explores these themes, as well as innocence and experience, life and death, love and sexuality, friendship and loneliness.

•

The poem’s speaker appears to be standing in the centre of an estate, watching people as spring unfurls. Initially, the poem focuses on the youth or ‘youngers’ of the estate, who hang out in groups; they are hidden from view, whispering, ‘plotting’ and dreaming. Time moves on; it is twilight, and the group becomes ‘three unbroken voices’ on a bus dissecting a party; we imagine these to be older – teenagers, perhaps. The ‘three’ then becomes ‘two’: ‘two men’ and ‘two schoolgirls’, and the focus shifts from what is said and heard to what can be seen, the way they move: ‘bouncing’, ‘walking’, ‘laughing’. Then, from ‘two’, the poet considers ‘one’ – individual boys and girls on the cusp of adulthood: a boy admiring a ‘new strip of muscle’, a girl exploring her sexuality by sending a ‘risky text’. A poem that begins with the closeness and security of a group (‘youngers… cousins’) ends with a sense of loneliness and isolation, as the young must inevitably grow up and enter adulthood, with its associated loss of innocence.

Contexts for reading

•

Caleb Femi is a British-Nigerian writer, poet, artist and filmmaker. Born in Nigeria, he was raised by his grandmother then moved to live with his parents in Peckham, London, when he was seven. His upbringing inspired his debut poetry collection, Poor (2020), which won a Forward Prize for Poetry. Femi studied English at Queen Mary University of London before teaching English at a secondary school in Tottenham for two years. In 2016, Femi was chosen as the first Young People’s Laureate for London.

•

Femi grew up on the same South London estate as Damilola Taylor, a ten-year-old boy who died after being stabbed with broken glass by teenage boys. In an interview, Femi said, ‘The more I grew up, death became a regular occurrence not only in my immediate circle, but all around me.’ He turned to poetry to process his experiences and convey the lives of sometimes marginalised young people.

•

When asked about his inspiration for the poem, Femi said: ‘People watching is essential to my writing practice. I am in love with my community… It delights me to watch them and document their lives. It underpins my passion for poetry because I am able to observe and capture moments and then put it down on paper.’ Femi also cites TS Eliot as an inspiration for this and other poems: ‘there was something when reading The Wasteland… the way that [Eliot] talks about the community in Margate… a quality of capturing and balancing the scales of the perception of people that really struck a note with me.’
