Teacher's Making a Difference - Mr Thorne's Phonics


The unsung heroes and heroines of education are those very many teachers that have really gone that extra mile to make a difference to their children's learning. Through the wonders of the Internet we are able to share and celebrate their good work. 

Here is one example of a teacher who has really put some thought and effort into teaching his kids the fundamentals of phonics. Fantastic!

Christopher Thorne is a Year 1 Teacher at a North London school in the UK. He has produced over 200 videos to help with the teaching of phonics which he hosts on his website at http://www.mrthornedoesphonics.com/  It's an excellent resource for children and parents, teachers and schools and anyone with English as a second language.


At present, there are approximately 200 videos on his Youtube channel, which have been viewed over 300,000 times! The videos cover a wide range of literacy concepts, some examples include short vowel sounds, consonant sounds and adjectives:-



Keep up the fantastic work Mr Thorne!
