Mr. Chope: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what steps he is taking to promote spelling with imagery as a
method for improving the teaching of spelling in schools. [191360]
Mr. Stephen Twigg: Developing good literacy skills, including the ability to spell with accuracy and confidence, is crucial to
raising standards in English and other subjects, and for equipping pupils with the skills and knowledge they need for life beyond
school.
The National Literacy Strategy's Framework for Teaching sets out detailed guidelines for what pupils should be taught in each year
of primary school, including key principles and activities for the teaching and learning of spelling appropriate to individual year
groups.
The Framework supports a balanced approach to teaching spelling which includes both the development of phonological awareness as
well as the use of visual skills to support pupils in their learning. The use of visual skills might include recognising common
letter strings and checking critical features of the word in terms of shape and length.
Through the Primary Strategy schools can access a wealth of materials to support the teaching of literacy. For example the Planning
Exemplification and Spelling programme for years 2 and 3 provides teachers with a range of structured activities to support pupils'
spelling. These include a variety of highly visual activities such as labelling pictures and diagrams or "spotting the difference"
between pairs of similar words.

Keith Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what steps the Government are taking to prevent isolation and lack

Mr. Miliband: Ensuring the personalisation of teaching and learning is the effective response to difficulties of isolation and lack
of commitment, the work of the Primary and Key Stage 3 National Strategies is central to this. Both Strategies help teachers give
careful attention to pupils' learning needs, set challenging targets for them linked to high quality assessment, and offer tools to
make lessons pacy, challenging and more enjoyable.

of special education needs teaching in each of the last three years; and if he will list the projects funded. [183212]
Margaret Hodge: [holding answer 12 July 2004]: The Department has developed a considerable research programme on special
educational needs, funded through the Department's Research Budget and individual policy programme budgets. In total, since 2001/02
financial year the Department has spent approximately £1,900,000 on research into special educational needs. Of this, approximately
£300,000 was spent on research which addressed the issue of the effectiveness of SEN teaching. In 2001/02 financial year the total
spent on research into the effectiveness of SEN teaching was £25,000; in 2002/03 the total spent was £9,000; in 2003/04 the total
was £142,714; and in 2004/ 05 the total was £120,730. These projects were: Teaching Strategies and Approaches for Pupils with SEN: a
scoping study. Inclusion and Pupil Achievement. Raising the Achievement of Children with Specific Language and Communication

Ms Dari Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what steps his Department is taking to help improve the
teaching of mathematics following the publication of the Adrian Smith Report. [181596]
Mr. Charles Clarke: I set out the government's initial response to Professor Adrian Smith's report in a written ministerial
statement on 28 June.
In that statement, I announced measures to: Recruit and retain more highly skilled Maths teachers; Set up a National Centre of
Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics; Develop local school networks with access to mathematics expertise; Develop strong links
across all sectors and strengthen National Strategies at Key Stage 2 and 3.
These proposals will provide an effective answer to the challenges ahead and represent a fair balance between the needs of
mathematics as a subject, what is reasonable in the context of other subjects and what is affordable.

Mr. McGrady: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) what differences there are between the methods of delivering
special needs education in integrated and mainstream schools; [163605]
(2) what provision for special needs education is made in the (a) integrated and (b) mainstream sector. [156104]
Mr. Gardiner: The assessment process and the provision put in place to meet a child's special educational needs (SEN) are determined
by the needs of the individual and not the school sector in which the child is placed and there is therefore no difference across
sectors in terms of the nature of support provided.
Each Education and Library Board is responsible for Statements of Special Educational Needs for pupils resident in its area. The
Board will meet the educational costs associated with the Statement in respect of pupils in maintained schools and in controlled
schools (including controlled integrated schools). The cost of the educational provision in Statements for children in
grant--maintained integrated (GMI) schools is met by the Department because it has direct funding responsibility for these schools.
In addition, resources are allocated to schools (including GMI schools) through the various LMS formulae to assist pupils with
special educational needs who do not require a Statement.

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what role phonics play in the Literacy Strategy at Key Stages
(a) 1 and (b) 2. [165291]
Mr. Stephen Twigg: The National Literacy Strategy puts phonics--both analytic and synthetic--at the heart of literacy teaching in
Key Stages 1 and 2. It advocates a strong emphasis on word level work (particularly phonics) and guided reading in the early years,
with a gradual shift to place more emphasis on sentence level work (particularly composition in writing) in Key Stage 2.

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of phonics in the
teaching of reading; and what guidance he has issued concerning its use in primary schools. [165322]
Mr. Stephen Twigg: From a position where many schools were teaching very little phonics, the National Literacy Strategy has
transformed literacy teaching in primary schools. Its approach is soundly based on international research and best practice. The
teaching of phonics has contributed to primary schools' achievement in maintaining world class standards, with tens of thousands
more seven and 11-year-olds now achieving the expected level in reading for their age.
Guidance to teachers on the use of phonics is included in the strategy's framework for teaching and a supplement to the "Progression
in Phonics" training material will be available for schools in the summer term.
