Phonics Workshop
What is phonics?
The sound that the letter or
letters make.
With this basic knowledge children
begin to blend simple words, then as
they progress through school, more
complex ones
Can you work out these words using
phonics?

How do we teach phonics in school?

There are 6 phases.
Phase 1
Develops the importance of
developing reading and listening skills.
Phase 2 Marks the beginning of
systematic high quality phonic work.
Phase 3-6 Continues to build on skills and
knowledge acquired in phase 2.

learn the sounds by using actions.

However……
The English alphabet has 26 letters
but there are
44 different sounds!
cat kitten
back chemist
marquee
plaque
For example the sound ‘igh’ is
also made from these letters
ie =pie
Y = fly
i= blind
i_ e = bike
Children will need to know these
sounds so they can hear them in
the words and then use them when
reading and writing independently.
