•
•
•
Learning the letters sounds
Learning the letter formation
Blending
Identifying sounds in words
Spelling the tricky words
Although the skills are covered
separately, they will all be taught at
the same time in school
How do we teach these
skills at school?
•
Jolly Phonics -method of teaching the letter
sounds in a way that is fun and multi sensory.
Children use the letter sounds to read words
•
ORT – The main reading scheme that we have in
school to support children in P.1-3 with reading
skills.
It includes fiction and non fiction books.
There are also books based on rhyme and poetry
books.
Jolly Phonics
Learning letter sounds
• Teaches the 42 main sounds of
English, not just the alphabet.
• Sounds taught in 7 groups
• Each sound has an action which helps
children remember the letters
• Letters are learned by their soundnot their name! This helps blending.
• Sound books taken home
• Puppets and songs
Learning letter formation
• Pencil grip- tripod grip
• Correct formation is important – o,
d, m
• Work sheets and home sheets
• White boards, paper, laminated
boards, in the air
• Jolly phonics stories and dvd
• Joined up writing – exit strokes- d. n
Blending letters together
(process of saying individual sounds together in a word and
then running them together to make the word)
• d-o-g it is difficult to start but improves with practice
• Some sounds are represented by 2 letters- digraphs ai so
r-ai-n
• St is not a digraph- can hear 2 sounds encourage this as one
unit when sounding out fl- a g this encourages greater
fluency
• Tricky words- irregular spelling- said, was, one- and they
are common words
• Games, magnets, activity sheets
Identifying sounds in words
•
•
•
•
•
•
Listening for sounds in words
I spy- initial sound
Listen for end sounds
Listen for middle sounds- the hardest to hear
3 letter words to start
Tap sounds -3 taps 3 sounds h- o-t
careful with f-i-sh
Spelling tricky words
• Look and say
• Spelling- look, cover, write and check
• Say it as it sounds- was- “wass as in mass”
Monday- M-on-day
• Mneumonics the initial word in saying gives
spelling- Laugh At Ugly Goats Hair
• Joined up writing will improve spelling
ORT reading scheme
• Try to find a quiet 10 mins every day
• The more you read stories, the more confident your child
will feel
• Picture books-first words-patterned stories-sentences
(may read all or some)
• Praise and encouragement
• Important to progress at their own pace
• Each stage builds on and extends the reading skills and
words
• TV, games, and worksheets
• Home- tv, magazine, M and S-workbooks and toys and read
at home books.
Reading Comprehension
(understanding in reading)
•
•
•
•
Predicting
Clarifying
Questioning
Summarising
Good readers will use these strategies all the time
Taught in school during reading group time
Improves understanding of what they are reading
Can be used at home
• Predicting- before reading ask what they think
the story is about-explain reasons. Predict at
exciting points in the story
• Clarifying-After reading- what words are they
unsure of – can they work out what they
mean.(picture clues, reading parts of story)
• Questioning-Take turns to pose and answer
questions-(fat and skinny)
• Summarising – ask your child to summarise what
they have read in a few sentences.
FINALLY
• READING IS FUN
• HAVE FUN TOGETHER
• PLEASE ASK IF YOU NEED ANY
