Validated SSP Programmes

Choosing the best programme for your school is a key decision for all school leaders.

Phonics should be taught as part of the approach to develope early reading, as part of an systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP). An SSP programme is one that provides:

• all that is essential to teach SSP to children in reception and key stage 1 years of mainstream primary schools;
• sufficient support for children in reception and key stage 1 to become fluent readers;
• a structured route for most children to meet or exceed the expected standard in the year one phonics screening check;
• all national curriculum expectations for word reading through decoding by the end of key stage 1

 

'The school's leadership team is confident that their chosen SSP programme will ensure success for all pupils, particularly the lowest 20% pupils. They adopt one systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme that they teach with fidelity, consistency and continuity from Reception to Y2.'  English Hub Challenge Checklist 2020
