2.  A statutory requirement  Daily  20 minutes high quality phonics provision.  Multisensory approach  4 phase approach:  Revisit and review  Teach  Practise  Apply

3. This is the smallest unit of sound in a word.

4. These are the letters that represent the phoneme. The grapheme could be 1 letter, 2 letters or more.

5.  Blending phonemes into words for reading.  Segmenting words into phonemes for spelling.

6.  Teaching phonics requires a technical skill in enunciation.  Phonemes (sounds) should be articulated clearly and precisely. We use Jolly phonics to help us.  http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/Question/Index/3 http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/Question/Index/3  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGpsVmWL RFA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGpsVmWL RFA  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjKq8s815 4s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjKq8s815 4s

7.  High Frequency Word (HFW) – words that occur regularly in texts that children should be able to read. E.g. and, as, it  Tricky words – Words that cannot be sounded out and the children must just ‘know’ them.

8.  Phase 1 (Nursery and practising within Reception) – playing with and hearing sounds.  Phase 2 – Sounds of the alphabet letters, introduce double letter digraphs.  Phase 3 – Introduce digraphs and trigraphs.  Phase 4 – Practising blending.  Phase 5 – Alternative spelling patterns.

9. At this stage we concentrate on the phoneme (sound) and not the letter name.  Set 1 - s, a, t, p,  Set 2 - i, n, m, d,  Set 3 - g, o, c, k,  Set 4 - ck, e, u, r,  Set 5 - h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss,  Learning HFW and tricky words aanasatifin isitofoffoncan dadhadbackandgetbig himhisnotgotupmum butthetoInogo into

10.  How many CVC (consonant vowel consonant) words can you make using /s/ /a/ /t/ /p/?

11.  Digraph2 letters making one sound ( ai, ee, oo) Trigraph3 letters making one sound ( igh, ear, air, dge ) Split DigraphWhere the two letters are not adjacent ( a-e, e-e )

12.  Knowing one grapheme for each of the 43 phonemes.  Knowing the letter names.  Set 6 - j, v, w, x  Set 7 - y, z, zz, qu  Consonant digraphs: ch, sh, th, ng.  Vowel digraphs: ear, air, ure, er, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo  Learning HFW and tricky words.

13. We use phoneme frames and sound buttons to help the children segment to spell words. http://ictgames.com/soundButtons/index.html

20.  Blending for reading and segmentation for spelling of CVCC/CCVC words. E.g. Milk, tusk, stop, flag.  Adjacent consonants (CCVCC). E.g think, crack.  Practising vowel digraphs in CVCC/CCVC words – float, start, sweet.  Learning HFW and tricky words. wentIt’sfromchildrenjusthelp saidhavelikesodosome comeweretherelittleonewhen outwhat

22. Reading 30-50 months  Enjoys rhyming and rhythmic activities.  Shows awareness of rhyme and alliteration.  Recognises rhythm in spoken words. 40-60 months  Continues a rhyming string.  Hears and says the initial sound in words.  Can segment the sounds in simple words and blend them together and knows which letters represent some of them.  Links sounds to letters, naming and sounding the letters of the alphabet.  Begins to read words and simple sentences. Writing 30-50 months  Sometimes gives meaning to marks as they draw and paint.  Ascribes meanings to marks that they see in different places. 40-60 months  Continues a rhyming string.  Hears and says the initial sound in words.  Can segment the sounds in simple words and blend them  together.  Links sounds to letters, naming and sounding the letters of the alphabet.  Uses some clearly identifiable letters to communicate meaning, representing some sounds correctly and in sequence. Early Learning Goal Children read and understand simple sentences. They use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and read them aloud accurately. They also read some common irregular words. They demonstrate understanding when talking with others about what they have read. Early Learning Goal Children use their phonic knowledge to write words in ways which match their spoken sounds. They also write some irregular common words. They write simple sentences which can be read by themselves and others. Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically plausible.
