Onset & Rime - What has changed? How does it function within PLD from 2024?
PLD is committed to reading the release of new research, and analysing how the PLD range is impacted by new research. From this annual process the following change has emerged.
Onset & Rime Blending is NOT Associated with Structured Synthetic Phonics, but a Linguistic Framework Instead.
