Nursery World is responding to widespread concern across the early years sector about the imposition of statutory synthetic phonics with a campaign - 'No formal phonics before five'. Already, many experienced practitioners, respected consultants and academics have contacted us to voice their fears that good early years practice will be jeopardised if a policy of synthetic phonics 'first and fast' is enforced. You can read some of their comments here and on our Letters page next week. Make sure you have your say and e-mail us at news@nurseryworld.co.uk. There is much to play for!
