Visit the recommended site and read further on the toe-by-toe website.
If this resource is used in your school, arrange to observe a pupil being taught with this resource. Otherwise/also read the toe-by-toe book, to gain insight into the methods it uses.
Picture a learner in your setting. What difficulties might he/she be experiencing if he/she is unable to effectively decode?
How might you help this learner to feel more confident in your lessons? Compile your ideas with those of the other staff in your department, after a group discussion.
