  1. PhonicsInformation Evening

  2. Overview • What is phonics? • Phonics Terminology • Blending and segmenting • Sounds and tricky words • Year 1 Screening Test • Reading at home

  3. What is Phonics? • Skills of segmentation and blending • Knowledge of alphabetical code • Identifying sounds in words • Recognising common spellings of each phoneme • Blending phonemes • Segmenting phonemes

  4. Phonic Definitions! • Phoneme • Smallest unit of sound in a word • c-a-t

  5. The 44 phonemes DVD clip

  6. Phonic Definitions! • Grapheme • Letters that represent the phoneme • Could be 1 letter, 2 letters or more • t, ai, igh, ough

  7. Grapheme Key Vocabulary • digraph (2 letters making a sound ai, ee, oo) • trigraph (3 letters making one sound igh, dge) • Split digraph (where the two letters are not adjacent (i-e, a-e, e-e)

  8. Sound buttons rain bright witch laughter

  9. Blending for reading • Recognising the letter sounds in a written word (c-u-p, sh-ee-p) • Merging them in the correct order to pronounce the word cup, sheep

  10. Segmenting • Identifying individual sounds in a spoken word • h-i-m • s-t-or-k • writing down letters for each sound (phoneme) to form the word him and stork

  11. Foreign Language Learning!

  12. Segmenting Activity • Now it is your turn.... Use the sheet to work out how many phonemes are in these words.... boy string curl thorn thought shouting

  13. Can you use the phoneme frame to segment the sounds in these words?

  14. Did you get it right? • boy = b-oy = 2 phonemes • curl = c-ur-l = 3 phonemes • thorn = th-or-n= 3 phonemes • string = s – t – r – i – ng = 5 phonemes • thought = th-ough-t = 3 phonemes • shouting = sh-ou-t-i-ng = 5 phonemes

  15. TRICKY WORDS • Words that are not phonically decodeable • e.g. was, the, I • Some are ‘tricky’ to start with but will become decodeable once we have learned the harder phonemes • e.g. out, there,

  16. Letters and Sounds • Split into 6 phases • Phase 1: listening and oral skills • Phase 2: learning specific letters • Phase 3: Teaching graphemes with 2 letters • Phase 4 : Graphemes in words • Phase 5 : Alternative pronunciations and graphemes for phonemes (spelling focus) • Phase 6: Fluency of reading and accurate spelling

  17. Letters and Sounds • Children always work within the Phase that is appropriate to their learning. • Assessment is regular and groupings sorted accordingly • The Letters and Sounds progression of year groups and corresponding phase may not go hand in hand, depending on the progression of the children

  18. The Year 1 Phonics Screening Test • 1:1 with teacher • 40 words including ‘psuedo-words’ • tox, bim, vap, ulf, quemp • jound, blurst, stroft

  19. Reading at home • Everyday please! • Book shelves are carefully assessed and teachers will indicate when it is time to move (link to comprehension skills, not just accuracy) • Children are responsible for changing books • Reading together other ‘fun’ books • Mix of fiction and non-fiction • Asking questions
