Welcome to
Our aims
1.
Explain how phonics is taught in
Foundation and KS1.
2.
Demonstrate the way of saying letter
sounds.
3.
Provide you with some ideas and
activities for home.
5 Basic Skills
1. Learning the letter sounds
2. Letter formation
3. Blending
4. Identifying sounds in words
5. Tricky words
Letter Sounds
Letter sound order
• There are 42 different letter sounds, which are
divided into 7 groups.
• The order in which the letter sounds are taught go
from the simplest to the more complex letter sounds.
• The first group of letters were chosen because you
can make more simple, three-letter words than with
any other combination of 6 letters.
• This enables the children to start blending and
reading words from the first week. This is hugely
motivating for them.

Digraphs
(two letters that make one sound)
Digraphs
(two letters making one sound)
Practice Time!!!
Look through your handouts and try to make the
sound represented by each letter or digraph (2
letters).
http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/- is a good website for
ideas to help children with reading
Please feel free to ask if you would like us to
demonstrate any of the actions or sounds.
If children are unsure when reading a word give them the
sound that they are struggling with and encourage them to
use this to blend.
For example,
goat - if children read /g/ /o/ /a/ /t/, remind them that /o/ and
/a/ together makes the /oa/ sound and encourage them to
blend these three sounds together.
Pencil Hold
• Tripod grip
• ‘Froggy legs’
movement
Writing (identifying sounds in words)
* How many sounds can you hear?
* What is the first sound?
* What is the next sound? etc.
f. i. sh
.
Oh no they spelt it rong!
The most important thing with children's early
writing is understanding that getting the correct
sound is more important than writing it with the
correct letter/s.
Alternative Vowel Sounds
Introduced in
foundation:
Alternatives taught later
in year one:
(rain)
(play)
(flame)
(feet)
(leaf)
(these)
(boat)
(snow)
(bone)
* Children are grouped for
phonics.
* Children work in smaller groups
and groups are targeted towards
children’s individual needs.
Here are a variety of activities you
can use and adapt to support
your child’s reading and writing
Sound Book
Flash Cards
• What sound is this?
• Find me a ....
• Stick around room – children go on
sound hunt.
• Place sounds together and encourage
children to read words.
• Ask children to make up word s using
flash cards.
• Hunt for objects around home starting
with a given sound.
Bingo Cards
• Play bingo with words.
• Let children write own bingo cards and
play bingo.
• Duplicate, cut words out and play snap.
• Matching pairs game.
• Turn words over and read.
Race Game
• Encourage children to read words that
they land on using a dice.
• How many words can they read in a
minute?
• Can they read it before you can?
• Can they test your spelling (they read
to you)?
• Use with sounds instead of words.
Words and Pictures
• Children write words for given pictures –
linked to their likes.
• Children read given words and draw
appropriate picture.
• Snap game – match words with
pictures.
Metal Mike
• Robot to support segmenting – makes
writing more fun.
• Also robot makes the mistake not the
child so children are more willing to
make attempts.
Top Tips
1. Little and often is the way forward with knowing all the
sounds.
2. Praise children for good phonetic spelling attempts.
3. Most importantly reading and writing should be fun
and meaningful!!!
