St Catherine’s Early
Years
Phonics Workshop
for Parents.
Aims

phonics terms
• To outline the different stages in phonic development
• To show examples of activities and resources we use
to teach phonics
• To share websites which parents can use to support
their children
• Questions
What is phonics?
Phonics is all about using …
knowledge of
the alphabet
+
skills for
reading
and
spelling
Learning phonics will help your child
to become a good reader and writer.
Children learn at different rates.
Every child in EY’s and KS1 learns
daily phonics at their level.
In KS2 children continue to learn
phonics through spelling patterns
and rules.
Daily Phonics
•Every day the children have 15 - 20
minute sessions of phonics.
• Fast paced approach
• Lessons encompass a range of games,
songs and rhymes
•We use the Letters and Sounds planning
document to support the teaching of
phonics
•There are 6 phonics phases which the
children work through at their own pace
Phase 0ne
• Phase one is all about listening.
• Listening and hearing different sounds are really
important for writing. You cannot write until you
can hear the different sounds in words.
• We know that children are not ready to learn
letter sounds until they have worked on their
listening skills…..
Phase One Aspects
Environmental soundsaround us.
tuning into the sounds
• Instrumental soundsabout different sounds.
listening to and talking
• Body percussion- hearing and copying rhythms
using our bodies!
• Rhythm and rhyme- hearing the rhythm in
words and the rhyming sound in words.
• Alliteration- This help children to hear the first
sound in words.
• Voice sounds-This is a fun way for children to
enjoy listening to different sounds
and
Blending and Segmenting
Blending
Children need to be able to hear the separate sounds in a word
and then blend them together to say the whole word .
/b/ /e/ /d/ = bed
/t/ /i/ /n/ = tin
/m/ /u/ /g/ = mug
Segmenting
Children need to be able to hear a whole word and
say every sound that they hear.
bed =
/b/ /e/ /d/
tin=
/t/ /i/ /n/
mug=
/m/ /u/ /g/
How can I help at home?
•Make phonics part of your daily life…
•Nursery rhymes, songs, action rhymes.
• Add sound effects to stories.
• Music and movement: rhythm, guess the instrument.
• Talking about sounds: listening walks, loud/soft, high/low, silly
noises.
•Speaking & listening: silly sentences such as “Happy Harry hops” to
help children hear the initial sound in words. Rhyming their names
•Mrs Skeaping Creeping….can they hear the eeping sound in both
the names?
•Sound out words..ask the children to find their c-oa-t or their ha-t.
This is very important!
Saying the sounds
• Sounds should be articulated clearly and precisely.

Before we move on lets get to
grips with some other terms that
your children may use.
Your children will learn to use the
term:
sound
(phoneme)
sounds that can be heard in words
e.g. c-a-t
Phonics Words
Your children will also learn to use the
term:
Letter name
(grapheme)
This is how a sound is written down

Tricky Words
High Frequency Words or
Sight Words
• These are words that can’t be sounded out
because they don’t follow the rules.
The, they, are, you, are all tricky words
CVC words
• These are words that are made up of
a consonant, vowel and consonant.
• Cat, hat, bin, hot, sip are all CVC
words.
Digraphs and Trigraphs
• Digraph
• Trigraph
(2 letter sounds /oo/ /ch/)
(3 letter sounds /igh/)
Here are all the terms again!
• Phoneme
• Grapheme
• Blending
(sound)
(letter formation)
(putting sounds together to
make word)
Segmenting (breaking word into sounds)
Digraph
(2 letter sounds /oo/ /ch/)
Trigraph
(3 letter sounds /igh/)
CVC
(consonant, vowel, consonant)

Phase 2:
Learning phonemes to read and
write simple words
• Children will learn their first 19 phonemes:
Set 1: s a t p Set 2: i n m d
Set 3: g o c k Set 4: ck (as in duck) e u r
Set 5: h b l f
ff (as in puff) ll (as in hill)
ss (as in hiss)
• They will use these phonemes to read and spell
simple “consonant-vowel-consonant” (CVC)
words:
sat, tap, dig, duck, rug, puff, hill, hiss
All these words contain 3 phonemes.

Phase 3:
• Children will enter phase 3 once they know
the first 19 phonemes and can blend and
segment to read and spell CVC words.
• They will learn another 26 phonemes:
• j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu
• ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow,
oi, ear, air, ure, er
• They will use these phonemes (and the ones from
Phase 2) to read and spell words:
chip, shop, thin, ring, pain, feet, night,
boat, boot, look, farm, fork, burn,
town, coin, dear, fair, sure
Phoneme Frame Game
How to play:

Now can you write the sounds you hear in the
phoneme frame?

Phase 4:
Introducing consonant clusters: reading and
spelling words with four or more phonemes
• Children move into phase 4 when they know all the
phonemes from phases 2 and 3 and can use them to
read and spell simple words (blending to read and
segmenting to spell).
• Phase 4 doesn’t introduce any new phonemes.
• It focuses on reading and spelling longer words with
the phonemes they already know.
• These words have consonant clusters at the beginning:
spot, trip, clap, green, clown
…or at the end: tent, mend, damp, burnt
…or at the beginning and end! trust, spend,
twist
Is there anything I can
do at home?

How can I help at home?
Have plenty of pens, pencils and paper at home that the children
can use anytime.
Help them learn their letter sounds as often as possible.
If they are bringing a book home please try to read with them
everyday.
Show children how important reading and writing is…write a
shopping list and ask your children to help you hear the sounds in
beans, or bread for example.
If you are reading a magazine or a book ask the children to have a
look too and find some words or letters they might know.
• Practise the phonemes together – robot talk, I-spy games
using sounds (something that begins with ……. ends with ………
middle sound is…………)
• Make phonics part of everyday life. For example, ask your
child to find 5 things that start with the letter sound 't' on
the way home.
Just before we go….
• Phonics is not always the best way to
learn for some children…..but we are
very good at picking this up and we
have other ways to get your child to
read and write.
