  3. Rose Report In 2006 Sir Jim Rose completed his independent review of the teaching of early reading. The review report provided clear recommendations on what constitutes ‘high quality phonic work.’ It made it clear that there are two dimensions to reading: Word recognition and language comprehension. High quality phonic teaching secures the skill of word recognition and then, once mastered, enables children to read fluently and automatically. Once children are fluent readers they are able to concentrate on the meaning of the text. Learning to read, to reading to learn (for pleasure and purpose)

  4. Learning phonics will help your child to become a good reader and writer. Every child in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 learns daily phonics at their level using Letters and Sounds plus Jolly Phonics.

  5. Phonic terms your child will learn at school . Phoneme – the smallest units of sound that are found within a word. . Grapheme – the spelling of the sound e.g. ch . Blending – putting the sounds together to read a word. . Segmenting – breaking a word up into its sounds. . Diagraph – two letters that make one sound when read e.g. oa

  6. . Split digraph Trigraph – three letters that make one sound e.g. igh . CVC – stands for consonant, vowel, consonant e.g. cat . Tricky words – words that cannot be easily decoded.

  7. Letters and Sounds Phase 1 Lots of this phase will have already been covered at your child’s pre-school. It involves: . Tuning into sounds . Listening and remembering sounds .Talking about sounds e.g. rhyming and alliteration, hearing and saying individual letter sounds in words.

  8. Phase 2 • Reception children are currently working on this phase. We are: • Blending for reading and segmenting for spelling simple cvc words. • Understanding that words are constructed from phonemes and that phonemes are represented by graphemes. Set 1 - s, a, t, p, Set 2 - i, n, m, d, Set 3 - g, o, c, k, Set 4 - ck, e, u, r, Set 5 - h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss

  9. Sound buttons and Phoneme frames Sound buttons – words using the phonemes we have covered so far are written with buttons underneath and helps for segmenting and blending c a t • • • Phoneme frames –E.g. ‘tricky words’: the, to, no, go, I

  10. Tricky words There are many words that cannot be blended or segmented because they are irregular. Each phase has its tricky words that we will teach the children to read. e.g. was, the, I, said, little In Reception these will be sent home to practice and in years 1 and 2 they will form some of their spellings.

  11. Phase 3 • Knowing one grapheme for each of the 44 phonemes in the English language. • Reading and spelling a wide range of cvc words. • Reading and spelling more tricky words. • Set 6: j, v, w, x • Set 7: y, z, zz, qu • Consonant digraphs: ch, sh, th, ng • Vowel digraphs: ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er

  12. The 44 phonemes

  13. Phase 4 • This phase consolidates everything the children have learnt so far • Introduces consonsant clusters E.g. spot, trip, clown • The consonant clusters may be at the beginning or end of the word e.g. tent, green, twist. • Read and spell multi syllabic words e.g. lunchbox, desktop

  14. Phase 5 • Teach new graphemes for reading ay, ou, ie, ea, oy, ir, ue, aw, wh, ph, ew, oe, au, a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e, u_e • Learn alternative pronunciations of graphemes: Fin/Find, cat/cent, got/giant, but/put, cow/blow, tie/field, eat/bread, hat/what, yes/by/very, chin/school/chef, out/shoulder/could/you.

  15. Phase 6 • The focus is on learning spelling rules for suffixes. -s -es -ing -ed -er -est -y -en -ful -ly -ment -ness • Children also learn the key sight vocabulary. In Reception and Year 1 there are 100 words to learn, while in Year 2 an additional 200 words are added.

  16. What does a Phonics lesson look like?

  17. What can you do to help at home? • Children have phonics packs in their book bags. • Cut up the letters. • Practice recognition and use them to make different words. • Make words for them to read. • Read as often as you can at home (daily if possible – it doesn’t have to be the whole book!). A lot of our reading books now support our phonics.

  18. Practice spellings at home. • Encourage your child to think about what looks right when spelling. • Try writing different words with the same spelling patterns.

  19. Assessment • We track and assess each child at the end of each phase. • If they need to recap some sounds we make sure this is done as soon as possible • In year 1 they have an official assessment using real and nonsense words to test their blending and segmenting skills
