About Lesley

I am a literacy consultant (specialising in the teaching of phonics and guided reading). I have been a class teacher for over 25 years (only leaving the classroom at the beginning of 2020) and was also the phonics lecturer on the PGCE course at Brunel University for several years. These roles have combined to give me a wonderful insight into what does and doesn’t work in developing children’s phonic knowledge and skills, as well as the support and resources practitioners, student teachers and parents are looking for.
