  1. Teaching and Learning Phonics at RA Butler • Wednesday 28th November 2018

  2. Aims • To share how phonics is taught. • To develop parents’ confidence in helping their children with phonics and reading • To teach the basics of phonics and some useful phonics terms • To outline the different stages in phonic development • To show examples of activities and resources we use to teach phonics

  3. Letters and Sounds • A high quality phonics resource produced and recommended by the government • Takes account of the best practice seen in the most successful early years settings and schools.

  4. Why teach phonics?

  5. Phonics is all about using … skills for reading and spelling Segmenting and blending knowledge of the alphabet +

  6. Daily Phonics Sessions with their class teacher

  7. Phonic terms your child will learn at school • Phonemes: The smallest units of sound that are found within a word. A phoneme is something you hear.

  8. Grapheme: The spelling of the sound e.g. th • A grapheme is what you see Children need to practise recognising the grapheme and saying the phoneme that it represents.

  9. Digraph: Two letters that make one sound when read e.g. sh • Trigraphs: Three letters that make one sound e.g. igh • CVC: Stands for consonant, vowel, consonante.g c a t • Tricky words: Words that cannot easily be decoded, sometimes referred to as ‘red’ words.

  10. Sound buttons • Using ‘sound buttons’ can you say how many phonemes are in each word? • shelf • dress • sprint • string

  11. Did you get it right? • shelf = sh – e – l – f = 4 phonemes • dress = d - r - e – ss = 4 phonemes • sprint = s – p – r – i – n – t = 6 phonemes • string = s – t – r – i – ng = 5 phonemes

  12. Phase 1:Getting ready for phonics Begun in pre-school but continued throughout EYFS & KS1 1. Tuning into sounds 2. Listening and remembering sounds 3. Talking about sounds

  13. Phase 2:Learning phonemes to read and write simple words • Children will learn their first 19 phonemes: Set 1: s a t p Set 2: i n m d Set 3: g o c k Set 4: ck (as in duck) e u r Set 5: h b l f ff (as in puff) ll (as in hill) ss (as in hiss)

  15. Simple Speed Sounds chart

  16. Segmenting and Blending Segmenting: Children need to be able toheara whole word and say every sound that they hear. e.g. If the teacher says ‘dog’ the child should be able to say ‘d o g – dog’ Blending: Children need to be able to hear the separate sounds in a word and then blend them together to say the whole word. e.g. If the teacher says ‘c a t’ the child should be able to say ‘c a t – cat’

  17. Segmenting bed = /b/ /e/ /d/ Blending: /t/ /i/ /n/ = tin

  18. Phase 3:Learning the long vowel phonemes • They will learn another 26 phonemes: • j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu • ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er • They will use these phonemes (and the ones from Phase 2) to read and spell words: chip, shop, thin, ring, pain, feet, night, boat, boot, look, farm, fork, burn, town, coin, dear, fair, sure

  19. Phase 4:Introducing consonant clusters: reading and spelling words with four or more phonemes • Phase 4 doesn’t introduce any new phonemes. • It focuses on reading and spelling longer words with the phonemes they already know. CCVC (black), CCCVC (strong), CVCC (felt), CCVCC (blend)

  20. Structure of a typical lesson • Revisit/Review • Teach • Practise • Apply

  21. Typical Phase 2 lesson video

  22. A typical week in Phase 2

  23. Letter Formation At RAB we have adopted a pre-cursive handwriting approach. This means the children in reception will learn that each letter starts from the line with a ‘whoosh’ and ends with a hook. Children

  24. Is there anything I can do at home?

  25. At home... • Read everyday with your child if possible • Help your child practise their reading words (EYFS) • Help your child practise their spellings (these sheets do not need to come back to school) • Play ‘I spy’ • Continue to play with magnetic letters, using some two-grapheme (letter) combinations, eg: r-ai-n = rain blending for reading rain = r-ai-n segmenting for spelling • Praise your child for trying out words • Look at tricky words • Look for phonic games online • Play pairs with words and pictures

  26. Don’t forget… Learning to read should be fun for both children and parents.

  27. Any questions?
