Reception Reading Meeting Welcome
Phonics5 Basic Skills 1. Learning the letter sounds 2. Letter formation 3. Blending and segmenting words 4. Identifying sounds in words 5. Tricky words
Talking and listening. • Reading with and to your child • Playing listening games such as I spy and oral blending robot talk c-a-t • Singing songs and rhymes • Lower case letters not CAPITAL LETTERS
Please encourage your child to practise their sounds and actions in their phonics folder. Each week they will receive 4 new sounds.
Phonemes • The smallest unit of sound in a word. • There are 44 phonemes that we teach. • Important to say shortest sound – c not cuh
Digraphs (two letters making one sound) sh ch th ng ai ee oa oo ar or ur ow oi er
Grapheme • Letters representing a phoneme e.g. c ai igh Children need to practise recognising the grapheme and saying the phoneme that it represents.
BLENDING • Recognising the letter sounds in a written word, for example c-u-p and putting or ‘blending’ them in the order in which they are written to pronounce the word ‘cup’
SEGMENTING • ‘Chopping Up’ the word to spell it out • The opposite of blending • Robot Talking e.g c-a-t
Once children are good with single phonemes… • DIGRAPHS – 2 letters that make 1 sound ll ss zz oa ai • TRIGRAPHS – 3 letters that make 1 sound igh air
TRICKY WORDS • Words that are not phonically de-codeable • e.g. was, the, I • Some are ‘tricky’ to start with but will become decodeable once we have learned the harder phonemes • e.g. out • Will be sent home in a folder to practise and will be checked in school each week.
Reading Books • Start with wordless texts and picture cards. Talk about what is happening in the pictures, guess what will happen next etc • Move onto mainly phonetic texts that children can sound out or predictable texts. • Change books once a week on a Monday. • Bring reading book bag to school every day. • Please sign or make a comment in reading record each time you listen to them read(at least three times a week).
Tricky words for children to learn. • Parents tick them when they know them each week. • Teacher’s check and tick them off on a Monday. • If they confidently know all of the sheet they get the next sheet. Tricky Word Sheets
