Q. 

Over the years I've spent quite a bit of time working on developing phonological awareness. I have always cobbled together a range of resources from 'Oxford Reading Tree', 'Phonological Awareness Procedure' as well as my own resources. It has met the need, but is rather time consuming when training other staff as each step needs to be explained. I was hoping that someone out there has some knowledge of an all singing all dancing phonological awareness programme. Would SALLEY fit the brief?

Q. 

When children come to our nursery they often have poor language skills and find it impossible to sit down. How would you get started?

Q. 

I run a private nursery in a nice area but I am having trouble competing with free places at the local playgroups – even with funding, parents still have to pay a large top up to keep me viable. What benefit would having SALLEY give me?

Q. 

Children come to us on a mixed sessional basis – sometimes twice or three times a week. We only have a few children who come every morning. How could we use SALLEY?

Q. 

I am confused by all the terminology around these days....Are phonics and phonological awareness the same?

Q. 

What exactly is multisensory teaching and learning?

Q. 

The programme seems to use a number of words that don’t make sense – they are not proper words – surely this is confusing. It seems to me that it is like the old ITA system of teaching phonics that I had when I was at school.

Q. 

What is pure phonics? Is this on the DVD?
