I'm excited to share my child's school journey with you all, as they start this new chapter of their education. My little one has just started year 2 and I must say it's been a whirlwind experience so far.
One thing that really got me was when I found out they were going to be learning a new phonics program in class. From what I've gathered, the school is trying out this 'no-nonsense' approach which focuses on explicit teaching of phonics skills. As a parent, it's been tough not knowing if this will actually help my child improve their reading skills.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Did their kids take to the new phonics program, or did they need some extra support in learning it? The more first-hand experiences I can hear about, the better equipped I'll feel to support my child in this new school year.
