Why teach phonics? � Phonics – main strategy supporting word recognition � Teaches children

Why teach phonics? � Phonics – main strategy supporting word recognition � Teaches children to connect letters of the alphabet to the sounds they make – blending them together from left to right to make a word � Supports children in identifying those individual sounds (phonemes) within words and segment them for spelling. � Helps children to become a successful reader!

Some common terminology • phoneme • grapheme • segmenting and blending • digraph •

Some common terminology • phoneme • grapheme • segmenting and blending • digraph • trigraph • split digraph

Phonemes and graphemes � 26 letters in the alphabet � These letters and combinations

Phonemes and graphemes � 26 letters in the alphabet � These letters and combinations of these letters made 44 sounds � Speech sounds – phonemes – are the smallest units of sounds in words � Letters or groups of letters are called graphemes � Phonemes can be represented by graphemes of one, two or three letters. ◦ E. g. t sh igh

Grapheme � One letter or one group of letters used to write one sound

Grapheme � One letter or one group of letters used to write one sound For example, the sounds ‘f’ can be written with the grapheme f (fun) or ff (huff)

Other terminology � Digraph - a group of two successive letters whose phonetic value

Other terminology � Digraph - a group of two successive letters whose phonetic value is a single sound (e. g. ea in bread or ng in sing) � Trigraph - three letters that might a single phoneme (e. g. igh in sight). � Split digraph - two letters, split, making one sound (e. g. make)

Tricky Words � These are words that have to be taught through repeated revision

Tricky Words � These are words that have to be taught through repeated revision and throughout the different phrases. The children need to learn these by sight as they cannot be segmented/ blended � E. g. you, was

Phonics Sessions � Happen � In daily (20 -25 minutes) as a class reception

Phonics Sessions � Happen � In daily (20 -25 minutes) as a class reception this happens in 3 small groups. � During the sessions the children will be encouraged to see, say and sometimes write letters and words.

A typical phonics session § Revisit and review § Teach § Practise § Apply

A typical phonics session § Revisit and review § Teach § Practise § Apply ◦ Practise previously learned letters ◦ Practise oral blending and segmentation ◦ Teach a new letter ◦ Teach blending and/or segmentation with letter(s) ◦ Teach one or two tricky words ◦ Practise reading and /or spelling words with the new letter(s) ◦ Read or write a caption (with the teacher) using one or more high frequency words and words containing the new letter ◦ Assess learning against criteria

Helping your child with decoding unfamiliar words � Say each sound in the word

Helping your child with decoding unfamiliar words � Say each sound in the word from left to right � Blend the sounds by pointing to each letter, i. e. /b/ in bat, or letter groups, i. e. /igh/ in sigh, as you say the sounds, then run your finger along the whole word as you say it � Try to ensure that you enunciate the sound accurately � Talk about the meaning if your child does not understand the word they have read � Work at your child’s pace � Always be positive and give lots of praise and encouragement
