  1. South Wilford Endowed CE VA Primary SchoolAn Introduction to Phonics “wee orl hav ay strong nolij and ferm understanding ov hou langwij werx”

  2. To introduce Phonics and to explain how it is used at school to teach reading and writing. • To develop your confidence in supporting your child with their reading and writing at home. • To provide some ideas for phonics games and activities to try with your child at home.

  3. Letters and Sounds – a brief introduction • Jim Rose’s (2006) review of early reading concluded that high quality phonic work should be the prime means of teaching children how to read and write. • As a result, the government developed a phonics programme, based on the best practice seen in successful settings. Letters and Sounds is a 6 phase teaching programme which is designed to run from FS1 to Year 2. • Phonics sessions take place for 15-20 minutes every day, as pace, repetition and frequency are essential. • Phonics should be fast-paced, interactive and fun: “Taught well, spelling can be a magical way of interesting children in language, or it can be a mindless chore”.

  5. Phonics is… segmenting and blending sounds + grapheme-phoneme correspondences

  6. The 44 phonemesTry to use ‘Pure Sounds’ when pronouncing the letter sounds

  7. Basic and Advanced Codes Basic Code(taught in Foundation Stage) One way of representing each of the 40+ sounds /ee/ in meet. Expect to see taught graphemes appearing in children’s writing!

  10. Using phoneme frames – segmenting for spelling

  11. Revisit/review (previously learned phonemes/tricky words) Teach 1 (me!) (new phonemes/tricky words) Practise (us!) Teach 2 (me!) (read or write words with new phonemes) Practise (us!) Apply (you!) (read or write a sentence using tricky words and new phonemes) Phonics Session

  12. Some phonics jargon! • Phoneme the smallest unit of sound in a word (sh in sheep, t in night) • Grapheme the letter shape that represents the letter sound • Digraph two letters that make one single sound (sh, ch, oo, ee) • VC words made up of a vowel and a consonant (it, an) • CVC words made up of a consonant, vowel and consonant(g-e-t, p-ai-n) • Tricky word can’t be spelt or read by sounding it out (the, does, was) • Segment break a word down into individual sounds (chain → ch-ai-n) • Blend slide individual sounds together to make a word (ch-ai-n → chain) • Split vowel digraph two vowels making one sound, separated by another letter (a-e make, o-e home) • Cluster two or three letters making two or three sounds, (the first three letters of ‘straight‘ or the first two letters of ‘green’ are consonant clusters)

  13. The six phases

  14. Assessment Phase Coverage Foundation Stage 1: Phase 1, introduce Phase 2 Foundation Stage 2: Phases 2, 3 and 4 Year 1: Phase 5 Year 2: Phase 6 • We group pupils in order to best meet their needs, with teaching assistants leading one phonics group whilst the teacher takes the other. On-going assessments are made and children move between the groups as appropriate. • Pupils are formally assessed at the end each term – we check phonemes and words known to ensure pupils are progressing through the phases, and re-arrange groups if necessary.

  15. Phase One • Some children may still need some support with phase 1 – it may help your child if you practise these at home • Aspect 1: Environmental sounds e.g. stories – walk around the local area. What can you hear? • Aspect 2: Instrumental sounds e.g. bags of instruments – add sounds effects • Aspect 3: Body percussion e.g. action songs and rhymes • Aspect 4: Rhythm and rhyme e.g. Rhyming stories – what rhymes with….? • Aspect 5: Alliteration e.g. having fun with names, story characters • Aspect 6: Voice sounds e.g. adding different voices to stories • Aspect 7: Oral blending and segmenting e.g. robot speech c-a-t and put it together.

  16. Phonic activities and games • Silly soup • Flashcards (silly voices) • Quick-write • Sound buttons/phoneme count • Robot talk (Old Macdonald/Simon Says/instructions) • Buried Treasure • 4 corners • Bingo (with letters, digraphs or words) • ‘I spy’ (something beginning, or ending, or rhyming with…) • Display tricky words around the house • Playdough or collage letters and words • ‘Real life’ writing (lists, cards, letters, invitations) • Fridge magnets ,foam letters in the bath, letter formation in the sand • Read stories regularly, and signs and labels (e.g. roads, shops) • Explore rhymes, make up nonsense words/sentences • Play literacy games (board games, internet) • Alphablocks - cbeebies

  17. Teaching tricky words • Write the word on paper, cut out each letter and put the word back together. • Write the word three times. Trace over it in different colours. • Look, say, cover, visualise, write, check. • Play bingo with the words. • Small word inside the word • Write the word in a nonsense sentence. • Find words with similar patterns. e.g. the, them, they • Write the word, draw around the shape of the word and cut out. • Can you add ing or s to any words. • Put words into alphabetical order.
