private tuition guide for private tutors

He says phonics - letter sounds - must happen alongside paying attention to speaking and listening.

The government and the Tories back the findings. The Lib Dems say it should be for teachers to decide what is best.

The National Union of Teachers, said it’s members would be bemused because phonics was already a national curriculum requirement for infants.

Shadow schools minister Nick Gibb said synthetic phonics should be happening in every primary school.

“The alternative ‘look and say’ approach has, over two generations, led to poor literacy levels in this country and the associated problems at secondary schools of low levels of attainment and disruptive behaviour,” he said.

Liberal Democrat education spokeswoman Sarah Teather said being overly prescriptive approach would not leave any flexibility for teachers to decide what was best for the children in their class.

“Schools should get guidance based on the latest research but the precise mix of methods used in classrooms is a matter for teachers working with individual pupils,” she said.

“Phonics is only one tool to help children learn the English language. The national curriculum neglects communication skills and more needs to be done to address speaking and listening in the early years.”

A recent BBC report, details the current crisis with regard to the recruitment of science teachers. In the UK, 1 in 4 schools do not have a specialist Physics science teacher.

The government stands accused of failing to recognise and address the seriousness of the science teacher shortage in England’s schools.

Ministers suggest they are on top of the issue by claiming 7,500 science teachers were hired in a single year.

But science campaigners say the claim is misleading because it includes those teaching many more subjects than physics, chemistry, biology and maths.

The government said science teacher numbers were up 30% since 1997.
