  1. Phonics workshop for parents and carers 18th October 2016

  2. Aims for today– what would you like to know? • To find out how we teach phonics at GCA • To see what resources we use to teach reading and writing • To see how writing improves through phonic knowledge • To understand ways of how you can help at home

  3. What is phonics? • Phonics is the skill of hearing thesounds of letters and recognisingthe letter shapes that match the sounds. • Children need to be able to hear, see and say these immediately. • It takes lots of practise. • Take a look at how to correctly pronounce the phonemes… • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqhXUW_v-1s

  4. Learning to read – Blending and Segmenting • To read, children need to be able to recognise, say and hear the sounds across the whole word, then blend them together. • We use sound buttons to help children identify the individual sounds. • Blending for reading • Segmenting for spellings

  5. Phonics in writing

  6. Phonics at GCA • Small group teaching • Nursery & Reception – children learn actions from Jolly Phonics to support their sound recognition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCjJYB07aSU • Group across years 1 & 2 to support all children’s learning. • Revisit  Teach  Practise  Apply • Resources in all classrooms e.g. phoneme mats (Y1&2 children in back of planners)

  7. Year 1 Phonics Screening Check • Statutory screening process – June of year 1 • 40 words – pass mark 32 • Pseudo words • Application of all phonics including phase 5 • Intervention and additional phase 5 phonics to support children in the screening • Use sound buttons to support • Children who do not pass in year 1 are required to retake at the same point in Year 2

  8. How to help at home • Play games and have fun! - I spy, sound-spot, • Always praise noticing and hearing letter sounds etc. Activity ideas: • Make an alphabet book by putting a letter on each page and then cutting out pictures that begin with these letters i.e. for ‘w’ Weetabix • Make letter shapes with play dough, string, ‘write’ on a persons back and they have to guess the letter • Encourage your child to help you to write shopping lists, a thank you card, an invitation • Sing rhymes and songs • Lots of speaking and listening, talking about the day, sounding out words for children to respond to e.g. ‘Can you find your s-o-ck-s’.

  9. How to help at home Resources • Magnetic letters for the fridge to make words (remember to think about 2 letters, 1 sound) • Write on notebooks, old birthday cards, pieces of paper • Visit the library. Read together and talk about the books. • Fill in the school reading diary with books you read - not just the ones we send home from school.
