Phonics Workshop 1st December 2014
Today we are going to learn… • What is phonics? • How we teach phonics in school • Pronunciation of sounds • The terminology of phonics • Different phases of phonics the children learn • It is going to be active and fun and hope you will join in! • The classrooms have been set up to see how we teach phonics at different phases.
What is Phonics? Phonics is… Skills of segmentation and blending Knowledge of the alphabetic code
Recognising the letter/sounds in a written word and mergingthe individual phonemes together to pronounce a word. • To read unfamiliar words a child must recognise (sound out) each grapheme, not each letter, then merge the phonemes together to make a word. Blending

Segmenting • Identifying the individual sounds in a spoken word and writing down letters for each sound to form the word .

Phoneme A phonemeis the smallest unit of sound in a word. cat c a t
Phoneme A phoneme can be represented by one or more letters ee shigh
Pronouncing Phonemes • 1. f l m n r s sh v th z • 2. e p t ch h • 3. b d g w qu y j • Video of pronunciation of sounds
Can you pronounce these sounds? f p m ch g
Can you use the phoneme frame to work out how many phonemes there are in these words?
Grapheme A grapheme is a letter or sequence of letters that represents a phoneme(written sounds) f shigh
Some definitions: Digraph: Two letters, which make one sound. A consonant digraph contains 2 consonants: shckthll A vowel digraph contains at least one vowel: aieearoy
How we teach phonics in school • Letters and Sounds Phonics Programme • Taught from Early Years – Year 2 • 20 minutes daily • Phases 1 to 6 • Children are grouped by phase in their year group.
Phase 1 This phase concentrates on developing children’s speaking and listening skills. We get children attuned to the sounds around them. • Environmental Alliteration • Instrumental sounds Voice Sounds • Body Percussion Rhythm and rhyme • Oral segmenting/blending Workshop – JellyFish Class – Early Years
Phase 2 • This phase begins in Early Years • Phonics sessions are fun sessions involving lots of speaking, listening and games • The children will have a small number of grapheme/phoneme correspondences, blending and segmenting can start (/s/a/t/p/i/n/) • ‘Your child will also learn several tricky words; those that cannot be sounded out • Eg: the, to, I, go, no Workshop – Starfish Class – Early Years
Phase 2 Up to 6 weeks
Activity: How many words can you make? • With word cards: s a t p i n m d Make as many CVC & CV words as you can.
Phase 3 • The main individual letter phonemes have now been learnt, and children are reading CVC words independently – dog , chip • CVC words follow the pattern consonant, vowel, consonant, eg: cat, dog, pet. • Words such as tick or bell also count as CVC words; although they contain four letters, they only have three sounds • 12 weeks Workshop – Octopus Class – Year 1
Phase 3 • Phase 3 teaches children to learn the graphemes (written sounds), made up of more than one letter, eg: ‘oa’ as in boat ‘ai’ as in train • Your child will also learn all the letter names in the alphabet and how to form them correctly • Read more tricky words and begin to spell some of them • Read and write words in phrases and sentences
Phase Three 12 weeks
Phase 4 This phase consolidates all the children have learnt in the previous phases. They will blend phonemes to read CVC words and segment words for spelling. They will also be able to read two syllable words that are simple. Workshop – Turtle Class Year 1
Phase 5 Phase 5 lasts 30 weeks Throughout Year 1 and into Year 2 Children will be taught new graphemes e.goy , aw, irand alternative pronunciations for these graphemes. The same phoneme can be represented in more than one way, for example: rain, may, lake The same grapheme can represent more than one phoneme, for example: meat, deaf, great. Workshop – Seahorse Class Year 2
Phase 6 The focus is on learning spelling rules for word endings (these are known as suffixes) The children learn how words change when you add certain letters. There are 12 different suffixes taught: -s -es -ing -ed -er -est -y -en -ful -ly -ment -ness Workshop – Whales Class – Year 2
