Phonics and reading
How is it taught?
What should I expect my child to
know?
How can I help my child at home?
Phase 1
• Children are taught to distinguish between
the sounds that they hear
• They play games to develop their listening
skills
• They learn rhymes and songs
• They play oral blending games
Phase 2
• Children are taught the sounds that single
letters make
• Grapheme- what it looks like
• Phoneme- what it sounds like
• By the end of phase 2 children can read
VC and CVC words
• it, an, on, is, at etc.
• Cat, tip, pot, dad, hat etc.
Phase 2 ‘Tricky words’
• Alongside the ‘sounding out’ words
children are taught to recognise some
words that they cannot read using phonics
• I
no
go
to
the
Phase 3
• Children are introduced to digraphs and
trigraphs
• A digraph is a phoneme (sound) made by
2 letters together
• A trigraph is a phoneme made by 3 letters
together
Phase 3
• By the end of phase 3 children can read
words containing the graphemes;
• ai ee oa oo th sh ch ng or ur er ow oi qu
zz ll ss
• Igh ure ear air
• They can now read a wider range of words
such as; night, feet, beard, boat, now,
chair etc.
Phase 3 ‘Tricky words’
• The tricky words that children are taught to
read in phase 3 are;
• all, they, she, he, we, me, my, was, you
are her
• Children are also expected to spell phase
2 tricky words correctly
• I no go to the
Phase 4
• There are no new graphemes in this
phase.
• This phase focuses on hearing consonant
clusters in words e.g. smart frog just help
from
• Tricky words in phase 4 are; said have like
so do some
• little
one
come
when
were
out
there
what
Phase 5
• Children are taught new graphemes; ay
ie oy aw wh ph
ew oe
au ey
• And the split digraphs; i_e e_e o_e
u_e a_e
• The tricky words are; oh their people
Mr Mrs looked called asked
could
Phase 5
• Also in phase 5 children are taught that
the graphemes they have learnt may make
different phonemes.
• This phase takes A LONG TIME!!!
• For example a child in phase 3 can read
cow but not blow- in phase 5 they will
learn that ‘ow’ can make two different
sounds
A quick practise!
• Use your knowledge of phonics to read the
words;
• anaphylaxis
• agency
• water
• precipitation
• What did you need to know in order to
read these words?
How do we teach new
graphemes?
For 20 minutes each day the children
across EYFS and KS1 work on the phase
they are on in small groups.
During each session the children will
read and write tricky words, the
graphemes they are learning as well as
revisit ones they know already
We play games too!
Games you can play at
home
Sound buttons

section where you can find phonics activities
Your child can read and
write!
• A couple of do’s and don’ts
• DO
• - allow your child time to decode- even if it’s a little
frustrating!
• - support them by telling them the first sound
• - tell them words that they could not be expected to
decode, or if they have forgotten the tricky word
• - let them finish the sentence- then work out for
themselves if what they said made sense
• - give lots of praise and encouragement
• - repeat the sentence they have read back to them
• DON’T
• - rush your child or tell them they know this word!
