  2. What is phonics? • Phonics is the relationship between written letters and spoken sounds. For example knowing the letter ‘b’ makes the sound ‘buh’. • Why is it so important? Phonics is key to the early learning of how to read and spell words.

  3. The Core Principles of Phonics • Linking sounds to letter names • Blending and segmenting • Word recognition • Language comprehension • Letter formation These principles work together to develop children’s reading and spelling skills.

  4. Linking sounds to letters There are 44 sounds altogether. Children learn to link the grapheme (letter) to a phoneme (sound). This skill is the basis of reading. Phoneme - a sound in a word grapheme - a letter or sequence of letters that represents a phoneme. chain How many phonemes are in this word? These words each have 3 phonemes. Each of these phonemes is represented by a grapheme.

  5. Jolly Phonics At Churchill Primary we teach phonic sounds through ‘jolly phonics.’ This puts a physical action with each sound and makes it more memorable and fun to learn! They are taught in sets that can make simple words. We use books in line with these sets to allow children to read as soon as they are ready. For example: ‘s’ – wave your hand in an s shape, like a snake, and say sssssss. ‘qu’ – Make a duck’s beak with your hands and say qu,qu,qu. WORD OF WARNING! It is important to enunciate phonemes as cleanly and clearly as possible. For example : /c/ /t/ /p/ should be enunciated without voice. /b/ /g/ /d/ should be enunciated without the ‘uh’ sound at the end

  6. Tricky Words English is one of the hardest languages to learn and there are some words that do not follow the phonic rule. We call these words ‘tricky words’ as the only way for children to learn how to read and write them is through memory. At Churchill we teach these through our key word programme that also includes high frequency words. Each year group has specific words they focus on. the no you come all

  10. She can see it all from the veranda cove and the white bougainvillea that once served her so well. For a moment she sees herself too, a boyish girl running across the lawn to the sea. The lawn is overgrown now and nameless bushes have sprung up around the bougainvillea. Lizards have taken over the garden and the derelict tennis court. Even here on this upstairs veranda they no longer run away from her.
