Aims
• To ensure all parents have an
overview of the teaching of phonics
in school.
• To ensure consistent messages
regarding the teaching of phonics.
• To update phonic subject knowledge.
The simple view of reading
• In 2006 Sir Jim Rose completed his
independent review of the teaching of
early reading. The review report
provided clear recommendations on what
constitutes 'high quality phonics work'.
• The 'simple view of reading'
• The Rose Report makes a number of
recommendations for the teaching of
early reading.
Successful reading demands both word level
reading and the ability to comprehend what has
been read.
This is formalised in “The Simple View of Reading”
Rose Recommendations
• More attention needs to be given to speaking
and listening from the outset.
• High quality, systematic phonic work should be
taught discretely and daily and in line with the
definition of high quality phonic work as set
out in the Rose report.
• Phonics should be set within a broad and rich
language curriculum that takes full account of
developing the four interdependent strands of
language.
The Simple View of
Reading
• Word-level reading and language
comprehension are both necessary to
reading
• Neither is sufficient on its own
• This is formalised in “The Simple View
of Reading”
• Reading comprehension is a product of
word recognition and language
comprehension
Enunciation
• Teaching phonics requires a
technical skill in enunciation.
• Phonemes should be
articulated clearly and
precisely.
Letters and Sounds
• DVD clip enunciation

t

Some definitions
Blending
Recognising the letter sounds
in a written word, for example
c-u-p, and merging them in the order in
which they are written to pronounce
the word ‘cup’.
Some definitions
Oral blending
Hearing a series of spoken sounds and merging
them together to make a spoken word – no text is
used.
For example, when a teacher calls out
‘b-u-s’, the children say ‘bus’.
This skill is usually taught before blending and
reading printed words.
Some definitions
Segmenting
Identifying the individual
sounds in a spoken word
(e.g. h-i-m) and writing down or
manipulating letters for each
sound to form the word ‘him’.
Some definitions
Digraph
Two letters, which make one sound
A consonant digraph contains two
consonants
sh
ck
th
ll
A vowel digraph contains at least one vowel
ai
ee ar
oy
Some definitions
Trigraph
Three letters, which make one
sound
igh
air
Some definitions
Split digraph
A digraph in which the two letters
are not adjacent (e.g. make).

High frequency words
• The majority of high frequency
words are phonically regular.
• Some exceptions – for example
the and was – should be directly
taught.
