ITJ Difference

From September 2012, the revised Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework details the rules and requirements governing all early years provisions.

All children deserve the best possible start in life and support enables them to achieve their potential. Children develop rapidly in the early years and a child's experiences between birth and age five have a huge impact on their future life chances. A safe, secure and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high-quality early learning provide the foundation children need to make the most of their skills and talents as they grow.

What is the Early Years Foundation Stage?
Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is the way the government and early childhood professionals describe the time in your child's life between birth and age 5.
This is a very important stage as it helps your child prepare for school and prepares them for future learning and success. From birth to age 5, their early years experience should be happy, active, exciting, fun and safe; and support their development, care and learning needs.
Nurseries, preschools, reception classes and childminders registered to deliver the EYFS must follow a legal document called the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.

What is the EYFS Framework? Why do we have one?
The EYFS Framework exists to support all professionals working in the EYFS to support your child. Establishes:

● The legal welfare requirements that all registered childminders must follow to keep your child safe and promote their wellbeing.
● The 7 Areas of Learning and Development that guide professionals' commitment to your child's play and activities as they learn new skills and knowledge
● Assessments that will tell you about your child's progress through the EYFS
● Expected levels your child should achieve by age 5, usually at the end of the reception year; These expectations are called “Early Learning Goals (ELG).”

If you would like to find out more about the EYFS, please speak to a member of staff or follow the online link. A printed copy is available to view in clubs.

Our flagship programme, Jolly Phonics, teaches children to read and write using synthetic phonics, which is widely recognized as the most effective way to teach children to read and write in English. That was more than 25 years ago. Since then, our immense progress has been studied in numerous research projects, the results of which led to phonics becoming a central element of the UK curriculum. Today, they are now used in over 100 countries around the world. As the leading and most experienced publisher of synthetic phonics, we offer a 7-year school program that teaches not only phonics, but also spelling, punctuation and grammar.

● Systematic teaching of phonics, grammar, spelling and punctuation throughout the school years.
● Teaching is multisensory and active, with fun actions, stories and songs.
● Independent research supports the outstanding results achieved around the world with the program.
● Continue to review and expand children's phonic knowledge.
● Flexible and easy to implement in your school
● Developed by teachers for teachers

How Jolly Phonics works

Jolly Phonics is a comprehensive programme, based on the proven, fun and multi-sensory synthetic phonics method that gets children reading and writing from an early age. This means we teach letter sounds instead of the alphabet. These 42 letter sounds are phonic building blocks that children, with the right tools, use to decode the English language. When reading a word, they recognize the letters and mix the respective sounds; When writing a word, they identify the sounds and write down the corresponding letters. These skills are called blending and segmenting. These are two of the five skills children need to master phonics:

1. Learning Letter Sounds: Children are taught 42 letter sounds, which is a combination of alphabet sounds (1 sound – 1 letter) and digraphs (1 sound – 2 letters) such as sh, th, ai and eu. Using a multi-sensory approach, each letter sound is presented with fun actions, stories and songs. We teach letter sounds in 7 groups of 6 letters at a rate of 4-5 sounds per week. Children can begin reading after they have been taught the first set of letters and should have been introduced to the 42 letter sounds after 9 weeks in school.

2. Learning Letter Formation: This is taught along with introducing the sound of each letter. Children will usually learn how to form and write letters over the course of the lesson.

3. Blending: Once the first letter sounds are learned, children begin blending sounds to help them read and write new words.

4. Segmentation: When children begin to read words, they must also begin to identify the phonic components that make the word sound the way it does. By teaching blending and segmenting at the same time, children become familiar with assembling and breaking down sounds within words.

5. Complicated words These are words with irregular parts, like 'who' and 'I'. Children learn these as exceptions to the rules of phonics. Introducing common trick words early in the year increases reading fluency (as they occur frequently in the first few simple sentences they are expected to read).

Along with these skills, children are also introduced to the primary alternative spellings of vowels. These five skills form the foundation that children build upon with each year of grammar instruction.

MAP Growth, part of NWEA's growth activation solution, is the most reliable and innovative assessment for measuring achievement and growth in K-12 math, reading, language use, and science. Provides teachers with accurate, actionable evidence to help inform instructional strategies, regardless of how far students are above or below grade level. It also connects to the largest set of instructional content providers, giving educators flexibility in curriculum options.

By using MAP GROWTH as part of a comprehensive, balanced assessment plan, teachers can confidently adapt instruction to challenge each student, whether they are below, at, or above grade level.

MAP Growth student reports also present realistic learning objectives by subject area so that, through teacher guidance, students can individually see their progress and be inspired to take charge of their own learning.
