Aims • By the end of today you will have developed an an an understanding of what your child is experiencing in school. • Have a greater understanding of phonics development. • To further explore the importance of your role in your child’s learning.
Where Are We Now? • Settling into routine • Jolly Phonics provides a systematic method for teaching children to read and write. • Children will learn 2 sounds per week • How does learning look in the classroom? Multi-sensory Approach
Overarching Aims • Learning the letter sounds. • Learning letter formation and correct pencil grip. • Blending. • Identifying sounds within words. • Tricky words.
What Does Learning Look Like? • Story and image. • Song or jingle. • Letter formation. • Identifying sounds in words. • Action. Multi-sensory Approach
Next Steps • 44 sounds and only 26 letters • Children are now learning initial sounds following our school progression. • Will progress quickly through initial sounds to digraphs.
Impact • Phonetical awareness is vital in developing reading skills • Independent writing is near impossible without the ability to build words, decode words and blend sounds. • Children will not develop the ability to spell without a sound understanding of phonics.
Homework • Sound Books • Blending Books • Tricky Word Walls • Sound Sheets • Reading Books (signed, returned and follow up work)

Food for Thought… • Partnership creates success • Children learn best when they talk about their learning, explaining it to someone else. • Effective completion of homework equates to an extra year of schooling. • Between 5 and 16, children spend only 15% of their lives in school. • You are your child’s most important educator (bedtime reading) • Quality over quantity is key.
