Literacy in Reception
Reading ELG: Children read and understand simple
sentences. They use phonic knowledge to decode regular
words and read them aloud accurately. They also read
some common irregular words. They demonstrate
understanding when talking with others about what they
have read.
Writing ELG: Children use their phonic knowledge to write
words in ways which match their spoken sounds. They also
write some irregular common words. They write simple
sentences which can be read by themselves and others.
Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically
plausible.
Letters and Sounds
During the Foundation Stage your children are taught how to
read and write using the Letters and Sounds teaching
programme.
There are 6 phases in total, phases 1 - 4 are taught in
Reception
Phase 1
This supports the development of speaking and listening skills,
which are crucial for children to make a good start on reading
and writing. Children are encouraged to 'tune in' to different
sounds and experience a variety of language and talking
opportunities.
Phase 2
Most children in the Reception Year will be working
through Phase 2 and beyond, but this depends entirely
on their particular level of development. This phase
introduces children to letters and the sounds that they
make.
We call this 'Phonics'.
Let's explain......
Phoneme - the smallest unit of sound in speech
Grapheme - the written representation of a phoneme.
Graphemes can be made from 1, 2 3 or more letters
working together to make one sound.
The children are taught to give the sound when shown the
grapheme (written letter) and to find the grapheme when
given the sound.
Children are taught how to
• blend sounds together (c - a - t = cat)
• segment words (cat = c - a - t)
These are the skills they need for reading and writing.
Listen to the 42 letter sounds spoken in British
English. Each letter sound is clearly spoken twice,
before an example word is given.

High Frequency Words
Children are taught to read high frequency words.
Some can be de-coded (and) and some are 'tricky'
(to, the)
Children will bring home a mixture of
decodable and tricky words in a word packet.
If you can't say it, can you write it?
What skills do you think children need to be writers?
Being aware of their own bodies
Self-confidence
Experience of mark making
Something to write about (a purpose for writing)
Examples of developmental writing stages

the new year (2015)
Handwriting
Children are taught the correct formation of each letter
shape using the order from the 'Letters and Sounds'
programme.
Please do not use capital letters inappropriately.
