What is ‘Phonics’?
Phonics is a method of teaching children to read by associating letters with
their sounds.
We can identify 44 phonemes in the English speech but only 26 letters in
the alphabet to represent those sounds for the writing process.
Why do we teach Phonics?
Phonics will help your child to:
•
•
•
•
•
Tune into sounds
Recognise letters
Read
Spell
Decode words
Key Points
Sounds are discrete. Correct pronunciation is very important.
All children learn at a different pace and it can take a while, before
children grasp the skills of blending and segmenting.
How do we teach Phonics?
We use the Oxford Reading Tree scheme developed by phonics consultant Debbie
Hepplewhite- ‘Floppy’s Phonics Sounds and Letters Programme’.
It is a daily session.
Children learn between 2 to 4 sounds a week. The fifth day is a recap and review day.
The final week of every half term we assess and review.
We revisit any sounds that the majority of children need extra input on. It is vital that they are
secure with their sounds.

Phonics in Year 2
Year 2 phonics builds on the strong foundations of
learning laid in the EYFS and Year 1.
Phonics in Year 2
At the start of Year 2 many pupils will be able to
• read all common graphemes
• read unfamiliar words containing these graphemes, accurately
and without undue hesitation, by sounding them out
• read many common words containing GPCs taught so far [e.g.,
shout, hand) without needing to blend the sounds out loud first
• read common exception words [for example, you, could, many,
or people)
• spell correctly many of the words covered in year 1
• make phonically plausible attempts to spell words they have
not yet learnt
Phonics in Year 2
Phonics sessions continue throughout Year 2 with the aim of children becoming fluent readers
and accurate spellers.
The national curriculum sets out the following statutory requirements for Year 2 children as
part of their English programme of study:
Phonics in Year 2
Reading – Word reading
Statutory requirements
Pupils should be taught to:
• continue to apply phonic knowledge and skills as the route to decode words until automatic
decoding has become embedded and reading is fluent
• read accurately by blending the sounds in words that contain the graphemes taught so far,
especially recognising alternative sounds for graphemes
• read accurately words of two or more syllables that contain the same graphemes as above
• read words containing common suffixes
• read further common exception words, noting unusual correspondences between spelling and
sound and where these occur in the word
• read most words quickly and accurately, without overt sounding and blending, when they have
been frequently encountered
• read aloud books closely matched to their improving phonic knowledge, sounding out unfamiliar
words accurately, automatically and without undue hesitation
• re-read these books to build up their fluency and confidence in word reading.
Phonics in Year 2
Writing – transcription
Statutory requirements
Pupils should be taught to spell by:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
segmenting spoken words into phonemes and representing these by
graphemes, spelling many correctly
earning new ways of spelling phonemes for which one or more spellings are
already known, and learn some words with each spelling, including a few
common homophones
learning to spell common exception words
learning to spell more words with contracted forms
learning the possessive apostrophe (singular) [for example, the girl’s book]
distinguishing between homophones and near-homophones
add suffixes to spell longer words, including –ment, –ness, –ful, –less, –ly
English – key stages 1 and 2 20 Statutory requirements
apply spelling rules and guidance, as listed in English Appendix 1
write from memory simple sentences dictated by the teacher that include
words using the GPCs, common exception words and punctuation taught so far.
Phonics in Year 2
We have a designated phonics and spelling session daily in Year 2.
We continue to use the Oxford Reading Tree scheme developed by
phonics consultant Debbie Hepplewhite.
In addition draw on a variety of quality resources such as:
• Discovery Education – short phonics clips and games
• Phoneme spotter stories
• Rising Stars spelling scheme
Phonics in Year 2
The children read accurately by blending the sounds in words
that contain the graphemes taught so far, but also begin to
learn alternative sounds for graphemes

Phonics in Year 2
As their ability to decode and read progresses the children are taught :
• to monitor what they read, check that the word they have decoded fits in with what else
they have read and makes sense in the context of what they already know about the topic.
• to find the meanings of new words they have read accurately but perhaps don’t understand
• to use morphology (such as prefixes) to work out unknown words.
Phonics in Year 2
The children learn new ways of spelling phonemes for which one or more spellings are
already known.

Phonics in Year 2
It is important to recognise that pupils begin to meet extra challenges in terms of spelling
during year 2.
The school has invested in a new scheme throughout school to support the teaching of
spelling.
Phonics in Year 2
Children are required to:
• learn to spell common exception words
• learn spellings that reflect old pronunciations (wr, gn, kn)
• learn to spell more words with contracted forms
• learn the possessive apostrophe (singular) [for example, the girl’s book]
• distinguish between homophones and near-homophones
• add suffixes to spell longer words, including –ment, –ness, –ful, –less, –ly
• use prefixes and suffixes, e.g. ‘in-’ and ‘-ed’

Any questions?
Phonics Test
Every Year 1 child in the country will be taking the phonics screening check in
the same week in June.
The aim of the check is to ensure that all children are able to read by the end
of Year 2.
This ‘midpoint check’ will ensure that we have a clear understanding of what
the children need to learn in Year 2.
Expectations
The check is very similar to tasks the children will have already complete during
phonics lessons.
Children will be asked to ‘sound out’ a word and blend the sounds together.eg do-g - dog
The focus of the check is to see which sounds the children know and therefore
the children will be asked to read made up ‘nonsense’ words.
This is not a reading test!
Examples of words

Administration
Mrs Mace will conduct all of the screening checks with the children.
The children will complete the check, one to one , in a quiet area of
the school.
We are not permitted to indicate to the children at the time
whether they have correctly sounded out and / or blended the
word.
Results
The school will inform you of whether your child falls below or within a national standard
(the threshold being determined by DfE).
Results will be reported in the pupils’ annual reports in July. WT means working towards
the required standard. WA means working at the required standard.
If your child does fall below the expected standard, they will re-take the phonics screening
check in Y2.
When?
The screening will take place throughout the week beginning Monday 12th
June 2016.
It has been designed so that children of all abilities will be able to take part.
And in Year 2?
Anyone who does reach the required standard in Year 1 will be required to
retake the test in Year 2.
This is done in the same week as the Year 1 children.
Spelling is also assessed as part of the Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar
test that Year 2 take in June as part of their SATs.
And in Year 2?
And in Year 2?
How can you help?
Encourage your child to ‘sound out’ when reading or writing. Focusing particularly
on spotting more unusual sound patterns.
e.g.
Digraph - 2 letters making one sound - cow
Trigraphs - 3 letters making one sound - night
Split digraphs - 2 vowels with a consonant in between - spine - i_e
How can you help?
Magnetic letters: Buy magnetic letters for your fridge, or for use with a tin tray. Find
out which letters have been taught – have fun finding these with your child and place
them on the magnetic surface.
Breaking words up: Now do it the other way around: read the word, break the word
up and move the letters away, saying: ‘met – m-e-t’.
Both these activities help children to see that reading and spelling are reversible
processes.
How can you help?
Whiteboards: Spelling is harder than reading words – praise, don’t criticise. Little
whiteboards and pens, and magic boards, are a good way for children to try out spellings
and practise their handwriting.
Handwriting: For handwriting children need to be well coordinated through their whole
body, not just their hands and fingers. Games that help co-ordination include throwing
balls at a target, under-arm and over-arm, and bouncing balls – also skipping on the spot,
throwing a Frisbee, picking up pebbles from the beach and throwing them into the sea.
Have fun!
Words and Sounds book: Five minutes a day practising the high frequency words and
phonemes really helps.
