  2. The Rose Report: independent review of the teaching of early reading2006 CONTEXT

  3. Recommendations • High quality phonic work as the • first approach to reading. • To foster speaking and listening skills. • To blend in order left to right through • the word. • HFW – discuss the ‘tricky bit’ There are statutory amendments to the National Curriculum in En2 reading and the EYFS

  4. What is synthetic phonics? It refers to an approach to the teaching of reading in which the phonemes (sounds) associated with particular graphemes (letters) are pronounced in isolation and blended together (synthesised).

  5. What is systematic phonics instruction? ‘Phonics instruction is systematic when all the major grapheme-phoneme correspondences are taught and they are covered in a clearly defined sequence.’ Review into the Teaching of Early Reading (2006: 17)

  6. Rose report : key recommendations The teaching of early reading should be contextualised within a broad and rich multi-sensory language curriculum, i.e: Varied opportunities to listen and talk Quality reading experiences, i.e. being read to, sharing or independently reading from a range of reading materials, e.g. poetry, narrative, non-fiction. A holistic view of learning that makes sensible links between subject areas. Appropriate use of ICT.

  7. Background • Rose Review in the Teaching of Early Reading 2006 • Changes in the statutory requirements of National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage to reflect new focus on phonics • Letters and Sounds resources sent to all schools 2007 • Emphasis on systematic phonics teaching ( synthetic regarded as best approach) • Increasing attention on systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) as main teaching approach in early reading 2010 • Government’s decision on a phonics screening check for 6 year olds 2010 ( pilot 2011 and rolled out 2012) • Change in criteria for phonics programmes 2010 now includes ‘decodable books’ • New standards for Teachers (2012) includes ability to demonstrate a clear understanding of SSP.

  8. The English language has 44 phonemesand 26 letters • A phoneme can be represented by one or more letters. E.g. t kn igh • The same phoneme can be represented (spelt) in more than one way. E.g. rain may lake • The same grapheme may represent more than one phoneme .E.g mean deaf field tried

  9. Alphabetic code Phonemes are represented by graphemes The skill of Blending (synthesising) READING The skill of Segmenting SPELLING C a t = cat Cat = c a t Blending and segmenting are reversible processes

  10. The four principles of SSP • Learn grapheme/phoneme (letter/ sound) correspondences (the alphabetic code) in a clearly defined, incremental sequence (GPC); • Apply the highly important skill of blending (synthesising) phonemes, in order, all through a word to read it; • Apply the skills of segmenting words into their constituent phonemes to spell; • Blending and segmenting are reversible processes. 11

  12. Segmenting

  13. Phonic TerminologyThese terms can be used with children • Phoneme • Grapheme • Digraph • Split digraph • Trigraph • Blending • Segmenting

  14. Support Resources • UniHub University resources ( Rose Review, planning templates and examples, Letters and Sounds Handbook, observation prompts) • Websites ( National Archives, ) • Software ( Multimedia, Splash)

  15. A phonics quiz • What is a phoneme? • What is oral blending? • What is a digraph/ Give an example. • How many ways to spell the /ie/ sound? • What is a grapheme? • What is a tricky word • What do the letters GPC mean?

  16. Phonic Resource Any programme that meets the criteria for high quality phonic work: Jolly Phonics Read Write Inc

  17. Phase 1 in Letters and SoundsSummary • Distinguishing between different sounds e.g. environment, instruments, body percussion, speech. • Awareness and experimenting with speech sounds and words e.g. alliteration and rhymes. • Beginning to orally blend and segment phonemes.

  18. Phase 2 in Letters and SoundsSummary • The start of systematic phonic work. • Introduction of the GPCs (grapheme-phoneme correspondences) • 19 letters in 5 sets over 6 weeks • 1st set is s a t p • Teaching a letter – hear it , say it and write it. • Blending and segmenting VC and CVC words. • Read high frequency words HFW • Also introduce two syllable words and captions

  19. Phonological awareness
