What is phonics?
Phonics is a way of teaching children to read quickly and skillfully.
They are taught how to:
• recognise the sounds that each individual letter makes;
• identify the sounds that different combinations of letters make such as ‘sh’ or ‘oo’; and
• blend these sounds together from left to right to make a word.
Children can then use this knowledge to ‘de-code’ new words that
they hear or see. This is the first important step in learning to read.
• If the children do not pass the screening in Year 1, they will have a chance to re-take
this in Year 2.

Letters and Sounds…
• National Phonics scheme published by the Department for
Education
• We do use resources from other companies and schemes to fit
the learning needs of all children.

Letters and Sounds & the Phases…
Phase 1 - By the end of phase 1 children will have experienced a wealth of listening activities including songs, stories and
rhymes. They will be able to distinguish between speech sounds and many will be able to blend and segment words orally.
Some will also be able to recognise spoken words that rhyme and will be able to provide a string of rhyming words, but
inability to do this does not prevent moving on to Phase Two as these speaking and listening activities continue.

Phase 2 - By the end of Phase Two children should:
s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss
give the sound when shown any Phase Two letter, securing first the starter letters s, a, t, p, i, n;
find any Phase Two letter, from a display, when given the sound;
be able to orally blend and segment CVC words;
be able to blend and segment in order to read and spell (using magnetic letters)
CVC words such as: if, am, on, up and ‘nonsense words’ such as ip, ug and ock;
be able to read the five tricky words the, to, I, no, go.

Letters and Sounds & the Phases…
Phase 3 – At the beginning of the year most children will know some
phase 3 middle vowel grapheme e.g. ai and ur, they will have used
them to write CVC words e.g. wait and hurt.
Phase 4 – This is the next stage where we teach the children to use
the phase 3 graphemes to build up longer words e.g. g-r-ee-n. We
call this a CCVC word. The words keep getting longer and more
complicated until we reach polysyllabic words such as ‘starlight’ and
‘pondweed’. This should take about a month.
Phase 5 – This is a much longer section and will take the rest of the
year to complete. It includes learning new graphemes for each of the
phase 3 phonemes that the children already know, for example, which
spelling to use for snail, play, make, acorn and they and where these
spelling patterns occur in words.

Terminology…
Phoneme – a sound
Grapheme – written representation of the sound
Initial Sounds – a single letter with a single sound
Digraph – two letters that make one sound
Trigraph – three letters that make one sound
Split Digraph – two letters that make one sound but are split from
each other in written form.
Decode/blend – when reading to find all of the sounds in the word
and then put it back together by blending them.
Segment – To say a word and break it down into the sounds you can
hear to aid spelling and writing,
Tricky word – A word that cannot be blended and is high frequency
to reading.
CVC, CCVC, CCVCC etc – Make up of words in terms of
consonants and vowels.

Phase 5 …
Children learn different ways of reading and spelling
each of the phase 3 sounds that they already know.

Applying Phonics…
Inspiring today’s children for tomorrow’s world
Nonsense words …
What a load of nonsense!!
Actually it helps the children to decode unfamiliar words and
become more fluent and able readers!!
A child who is a good reader, and good at applying their
phonics will be able to use their knowledge of GPC’s to
decode any words whether it is familiar or unfamiliar.
You can see this evidenced in their writing. Readers who
learn to read from sight find it difficult to apply their phonics
in writing.
Inspiring today’s children for tomorrow’s world
Nonsense words…
If the children
do not get into
the habit of
pointing to the
sounds, ‘ot’ can
easily become
‘to’ as they will
try and read by
sight.

National Phonics Screening …
Week beginning 12th June 2017
• We screen the children in
December, February and
April.
• Screening is administered on
a 1:1 basis.
• It is possible that as a school
we could be moderated.
• Pass rate 32 out of 40ish!!!

Past Papers…
Have a look through the past paper booklets and
feel free to ask any questions.

Phonics Intervention…
These are small group or individual sessions for children
needing extra confidence.
They involve:Practicing the graphemes - if your child is unsure of these could you please
practice the packs of graphemes that are sent home.
Games
The chute game
Buried Treasure
Trugs. – We also have Trugs at home for you to help support your child.
Inspiring today’s children for tomorrow’s world
How to support your child at home…
• Daily reading – point to each grapheme
• Identify the sounds that your child doesn’t know and display them
everywhere!!
• Focus on graphemes identified by teaching staff (Let’s Practise)
• Help the children to prepare for ‘Super-Star Spellers’
• Play games & draw pictures
• Nearer the time, we will provide you with revision resources
• Phonics Parents’ Meetings for select children
