Alignment with Letters & Sounds

The ACET Phonics and Early Reading Programme, developed by experienced teachers and Phonics Leads,, is closely aligned with the Letters and Sounds Framework. ACET Phonics uses the same language as Letters and Sounds so therefore offers familiarity. However, slight amendments have been made to the teaching sequence and the original phases have been divided into sub-phases. In addition, Tricky and High Frequency words are introduced earlier to enable pupils to move through the book bands at a quicker pace and develop fluency when reading early in the programme. The ACET progression overview is ambitious and has been designed to consolidate previously taught phonics while children are acquiring new knowledge. The ACET Phonics and Early Reading Scheme also provides supplementary resources that are in line with the recent DfE guidance.
