We have two ready-made structured intervention programmes for EYFS/KS1 and KS2 children who are not keeping up. The programmes consist of detailed, clear and planned sessions to support pupils who require additional support, either 1:1 or in a small group if children are at a similar level. These can be delivered by a teaching/support assistant, class teacher, or specialist phonics teacher.

We suggest that interventions take place after the first half termly assessment for children that are identified as falling behind with their phonics knowledge. These interventions should take place daily and should last around 10 minutes.
