Could your Letters and Sounds based SSP programme have inherent weaknesses you're not yet aware of?
Grab my checklist and find out.
Something shocking happened to me last week and it’s made me re-evaluate what’s important in this particular aspect of my life.
Up until now, I’ve always considered 5 things when making this decision, but from now on there will be a 6th.
Last week my car was stolen from outside my house during the night and it’s unlikely to be recovered.
From the evidence we have, it would appear to have been an organised crime gang, exploiting a known security weakness in my make and model of car.
Unfortunately, not a weakness I was aware of – it was a make with a good reputation, so it never occurred to me to question whether their security features were as robost as I had assumed they were. Lesson learned!
Sadly, I see the parallels with SSP programmes.
You buy one which has been quality assured through the validation process or you’ve developed your own programme over a number of years, making it as good as it can be.
However, that programme could have inherent weaknesses that you are don’t know about and it could be some time until you become aware of them.
That is why I’ve put together a checklist of the lesser known features of effective Letters and Sounds based SSP programmes. You can sign up for a free copy using the red ‘sign up’ button near the top of this page:
The checklist enables you to identify possible inherent weaknesses in your programme, common mistakes schools make and the impact these have on learning, as well as possible ways to address the identified issues.
It’s good to start the academic year by ensuring that your LaS based SSP programme is as robust as it can be.
