  1. Learning to Read Information for Parents 13th March 2014

  2. Why is reading so important? It is the greatest gift we can give to our children. If children can’t read, then they can’t access the rest of the curriculum. Research has shown that children who read fluently and enjoy reading do better at school – it changes their lives. Reading helps to develop children’s vocabulary, their imagination and opens their minds to new concepts – life-long skills. Research also shows that children who are supported at home tend to read for pleasure, do better at school and are therefore more successful in life. So thank you for coming!

  3. How do we ever learn to read? Me gustaría poder leer esta frase en la pizarra. Whatproblemsdidyouexperience? This is how a child feels when they first start to read!

  4. Learning the Sounds – Phase 2 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, Pure sounds are very important – drop the ‘uh’ http://www.focusonphonics.co.uk/sound.htm

  5. Blending • Once they can read m, a, s, d and t they start to blend so that they can read real and nonsense words. e.g. m-a-n man. d-a-s das Phase 3 and 4 Graphemes: ear, air, ure, er, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo Consonant digraphs: ch, sh, th, ng. Letter Progression: Set 6 - j, v, w, x Set 7 - y, z, qu

  6. Phonemes for Blending start = 4 phonemes s-t-ar-t thigh = 2 phonemes th-igh

  11. Tricky Words In addition to this, the children learn ‘tricky’ words (those that are not spelt phonetically) There are 300 words to learn on the key sight word list!

  12. ‘Sight’ words are everywhere!

  13. We learn rhymes to recall tricky words.

  14. Have fun making up rhymes with your children. Make up a rhyme for: said

  15. Segmenting for SpellingChildren need to be able to hear the sounds. Children use their fingers for spelling.Shop, floor, Practise using your fingers to spell:whenbluesight

  16. How can you help with phonics? • Ask the teacher which phase your child is on. • Play games at any time – you say the sounds, they say the word. • Encourage your child to learn the sounds. • Encourage your child to blend (sound out) using the sounds they know. • Encourage your child to read the tricky words regularly e.g. play matching pairs/bingo. • Make up rhymes for tricky words. • Encourage your child to use their fingers for segmenting (spelling the words). • Class pages – useful website links • Praise a lot!

  17. Phonic Websites http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/reading-owl/expert-help/phonics-made-easy http://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/ (Click on ‘Free Phonics Play’) www.starfall.com http://www.letters-and-sounds.com/ http://jollylearning.co.uk/ http://www.ictgames.com/literacy.html

  18. Comprehension • Talk about the book before you start reading it – look at the front cover and the blurb. Make predictions about what might happen in the book. • If your child is not yet fluent, share the reading with them – you read a bit, they read a bit. • Talk about the book and ask questions. • Two common types of questions: Literal and inferential. • Read the text on your table and have a look at the ideas for questions. Come up with 2 questions you could ask.

  19. How to choose suitable books • Visit your local library. • Don’t be frightened of picture books even if your child is an able reader. • http://www.booktrust.org.uk/ • http://childrensbooksguide.com/top-100 • https://www.scholastic.com/100books/pdf/Top_100_Childrens_Books_of_All_Time.pdf • Encourage your child to develop a knowledge of authors.

  20. Finally! • Make reading fun – not a battle ground. • Encourage your child to read words everywhere – road signs, shop names, food labels, game instructions, magazines, comics, books, jokes, poems, emails… • Play with words – make up rhyming sentences, make up alliteration sentences (Black bug bit a big black bear), play I-spy, make up sentences using car number plates, make up stories together, play hangman, look for the longest word in a dictionary, make up anagrams (e.g. throme = mother). • Read to your child and re-read favourite books.
