Can you work out these words using phonics? • Juraf • Porij • Fonix
How do we teach phonics in school? • Letters & Sounds There are 6 phases. Phase 1 Develops the importance of developing reading and listening skills. Phase 2 Marks the beginning of systematic high quality phonic work. Phase 3-6 Continues to build on skills and knowledge acquired in phase 2.
Jolly Phonics A scheme that helps children to learn the sounds by using actions. • Phonics Bug. A computer program used throughout the school.
Easy as a ,b, c, ...... Hear the sound. http://www.focusonphonics.co.uk/sound.htm 2. Say the sound. We teach the sounds along with the action from Jolly Phonics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djz82FBYiug&safe=active
We will be doing lots of sound talk in class. Try it with your child- can they follow your instructions?
However…… The English alphabet has 26 letters but there are 44 different sounds!

For example the sound ‘igh’ is also made from these letters ie =pie Y = fly i= blind i_ e = bike
Children will need to know these sounds so they can hear them in the words and then use them when reading and writing independently.
Ways to help at home • Play I spy but sound out the word. • Use magnetic letters for your fridge and use them to make words together. • Practise breaking/segmenting words.
Tricky words… Set a timer. Hunt the word. Play pairs.
TV If children are entertained by two letters, imagine the fun they'll have with twenty-six. Open your child's imagination.
Thank you for coming today. We would appreciate it if you would take a few moments to evaluate the phonic workshop.
