Professional Learning
We are delighted to support educators with various professional learning development opportunities in their teaching using a structured literacy approach.
In 2025, we are continuing to run our free professional learning workshop, “Cracking the alphabetic code! Read, write and spell with mastery. Implementing a systematic, synthetic phonics approach”. This is a one-day introductory workshop, assisting teachers in gaining an understanding of the key theories behind the Science of Reading and the Science of Learning and how this is effectively implemented in Year 0-3 classrooms.
Our 23-minute professional development video here supports teachers in their teaching of synthetic phonics. The video explains what a structured literacy approach involves and how it can be implemented in the classroom. It also explores the key features of the Sunshine Phonics programme, showing how it is structured, the order of teaching, what the books contain and the various elements of the programme.
You can also watch a video presentation by Jude Tabuteau introducing the Sunshine Phonics Decodable Series here. This is a practical, more detailed look at the Sunshine Phonics programme.
In addition, we have 10 videos following a year 2/3 teacher as she uses the Sunshine Phonics Decodables books with a student. Click the PL Videos button above, to view them.
