What’s in each Weekly Planner
In the Weekly Planner, you get a step-by-step guide on how to use Fast Phonics in your classroom for each day of the week. Learning objectives are set out, so you know exactly what you’re going to do.
Each phonics session is divided into four parts: Review, Teach, Practise/Practice and Apply. You can find specific Fast Phonics activities in each of these four areas, plus a weekly end of lesson assessment so that you can teach phonics in the best possible way.

To help you with your in-class phonics instruction, each Peak comes with a PowerPoint Slide Deck. Whether you wish to present them on your interactive whiteboard or print them out and laminate them as teaching cards – it’s your choice!
