Today we are aiming to...
• Explain what phonics is and how we use phonics to help your children learn to read and spell.
• Share information about how to pronounce the sounds and write the letters.
• Share ways that you can help your child at home.

What is Phonics?
• Phonics is a way of teaching children to link sounds and letters.
• It helps them to learn to read and spell words.
• Phonics is taught in a very structured way – starting with the easiest sounds.
• It is currently thought to be the most effective way of teaching children to read fluently and for enjoyment.

How is Phonics taught at Chesterhouse?
• Phonics, spelling and vocabulary is a key component of the Cambridge Primary English Curriculum Framework right through to Grade 6.
• We follow the Letters and Sounds programme, which is endorsed by Cambridge.
• Within Letters and Sounds there are Six Phases of phonic development.

What do children learn in Reception and Grade 1?
Children are taught to:
• Recognise the sounds that each individual letter makes (e.g. ‘s’ = ssssssss).
• Identify the sounds that combinations of letters make (e.g. ‘ch’, ‘ee’, ‘igh’).
• Blend these sounds together to say and read words.
• Segment these sounds to spell words.

How many sounds are there?
We teach 44 sounds (or phonemes).

High Frequency Words• Decodable
• Tricky
• Remember, some words that were once tricky will become decodable in later phases.
• Some words will always be tricky and so need to be learnt in different ways.

Please remember....
• Use the Literacy at Home/Homework book activities – it will make a huge difference!
• Play lots of sound and listening games with your child.
• Read as much as possible to (and with) your child.
• Encourage and praise – get them to have a ‘good guess’.
• Ask your child’s teacher if you are unsure – we are all more than happy to help!
