Hi,
 
Here is an interesting message from the Technology List.  Does anyone  have a 
response for Anthony in the UK?
 
Hi

The use of phonics for the  teaching of early grapheme recognition and 
production has now been mandated for  children in the UK. The debate still rages as 
to whether this is the right  approach. One of the problems we have is the 
lack of experience in the technique  - this is made even more difficult if one 
were to think of extending its use to  the adult language/literacy learning 
environment. Does anyone have any  experience of using phonics with adult ESOL/EAL 
learners and, if so, with what  results and what materials were used. To my 
mind, it would seem logical to  utilize a tried and tested method.

As ever - thanks for your  help.
