Relying on synthetic phonics flies in the face of young children's needs and real lives, argues Janet Moyles, professor emeritus and early years consultant This response to the Rose Interim Report is based on the fact that I am a trained early years teacher, former headteacher, former university senior lecturer in early childhood education and a professor of early childhood education and research. I start at this point in the hope that you will appreciate that my comments are made from a position of extensive knowledge and experience.
