Phonological Awareness: The Missing Piece in Literacy
Did you know that 99% of children with learning difficulties have a phonological weakness? In this episode, Karen and Jenny look into what phonological awareness really is, why it matters so much, and how structured literacy addresses this foundational skill. They also explore how early intervention—even before school—can set children up for literacy success, and highlight the powerful (and often overlooked) HPP junior language programme. A must-listen for anyone passionate about helping at-risk learners thrive.
