Phonics in the Foundation Stage
What does Phonics in simple terms mean
Skills of joining (blending) and separating (segmenting ) sounds in words
+ The knowledge of the alphabetic
code
What does phonological awareness mean

Phonological Awareness is awareness of
Sounds around us Rhymes , alliteration Phonemes Syllable awareness Blending and segmenting phonemes
in words Manipulation of sounds in words
What is ‘Letters and Sounds’ document Developed to build children's speaking and listening skills and to
prepare children for learning to read by developing their phonic knowledge and skills. It sets out a detailed and systematic programme for teaching phonic skills starting from Nursery with the aim of them becoming fluent readers by age seven( year 2).
Letters and sounds is a Six Phase program starting from foundation stage to end of key stage one to develop children's Phonological awareness and direct correspondence between letters and the sounds they make .
Pack consists of materials designed to assist practitioners and teachers in promoting speaking and listening skills, so that, by the end of Key Stage 1, children have developed fluent word reading skills and have a good foundation in spelling
Phase 1 – Beginning of Phase 2 ( Nursery) Phase 2,3,4 (Reception) Phase 4-5 (Year 1) Phase 6- (Year 2)
Phase 1 aims To hear and recognise , differentiate and
sounds in the environment, sounds made by body, mouth and musical instruments
To show awareness of rhyme and alliteration. Exploring sounds in words Orally blend and segment words Phonemes
Phonics: Key concepts and skills
Concept 1 :What is a syllable?
A syllable is the sound of a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) that's created when pronouncing a word.
Vowels break the sound in words .
Exercise Count how many syllables in these words Cake 1 syllable Eat – 1 syllable Cheese – 1 syllable Eating – 2 syllables (eat - ing) chicken – 2 syllables (chick - en) Fatimah 3 syllables (fa-ti-mah
Concept 2 What is a phoneme? The smallest unit of sound in a word is
called a phoneme There are 26 alphabets and 44
phonemes in English language !!
Activity : How many phonemes sounds) in this word?
Pen
/p//e//n/
Dog
/d/ /o/ /g/
Hip
/h/ /i/ /p/
Ship
/sh/ /i/ /p/
Concept 3 :What is a Grapheme ? The letters that represent phonemes are
called graphemes. Egg d-/d/ ,n-/n/
A. Graphemes can be made up from 1 letter e.g. p, 2 letters e.g. sh- diagraph 3 letters e.g. tch - trigraph.
Underline how many Graphemes, Digraphs and Trigraphs in these words
Print Duck Thumb Thing shack
Did you get that right?
Print- p-r-i-n-t 5 Duck d-u-ck 3 Cow c-ow 2 Thumb th-u-m-b 4 Chang ch-a-ng 3 Shack sh-a-ck 3
Phoneme is what you hear
Grapheme is what you see
Key skillsKey skill 1 – Oral blending This involves hearing phonemes and being able to merge them together to make a
word. Children need to develop this skill before they will be able to blend written words
Blending This involves looking at a written word, looking at each grapheme and using knowledge
of GPCs to work out which phoneme each grapheme represents and then merging these phonemes together to make a word. This is the basis of reading.
Key skill 2 – Oral Segmenting This is the act hearing a whole word and then splitting it up into the phonemes that
make it. Children need to develop this skill before they will be able to segment words to spell them.
Segmenting This involves hearing a word, splitting it up into the phonemes that make it, using
knowledge of GPCs to work out which graphemes represent those phonemes and then writing those graphemes down in the right order. This is the basis of spelling

The 44 phonemes
/b/ /d/ /f/ /g/ /h/ /j/ /ck/ /l/ /m/ /n/ /ng/
/p/ /r/ /s/ /t/ /v/ /w/ /y/ /z/ /th/ /th/ /ch/
/sh/ /zh/ /a/ /e/ /i/ /o/ /u/ /ae/ /ee/ /ie/ /oe/
/ue/ /oo/ /ar/ /ur/ /au/ /er/ /ow/ /oi/ /air/ /ear/ /ure/
The alphabetic code
The complexities of the English Alphabetic Code include
- One sound can be represented by in different ways using1,2,3 or 4 letters e.g. sound /o/- or, saw,watch,salt,law
- One spelling can represent multiple sounds: e.g. crowd, low, arrow, own, sow, know, acknowledge
Exercise Read the words below and discuss how many sounds do these letters
‘cc’ represent. Soccer Cappuccino flaccid Occur
Soccer , Occur -/ck/Cappuccino /ch/Flaccid /s/
Count how many phonemes in these each of these words using the alphabetic code?
Bleed Flop Cow Jumper Night boat
Did you get it right
Bleed = b-l-ee-d =4 Flop = f-l-o-p =4 Cow = c-ow =2 Jumper =j-u-m-p-er =5 Night =n-igh-t =3 Boat =b-oa-t =3
Activity
Count how many phonemes in each of these words.
shelf dress sprint string
Did you get it right?
shelf = sh – e – l – f = 4 dress = d - r - e – ss = 4 sprint = s – p – r – i – n – t = 6 string = s – t – r – i – ng = 5

Plan of action Develop a phonic rich environment. Discreet session of phonics teaching
everyday. Phase 1 through out the year + Introduce
1-2 letters a week Repetition at every opportunity ,building in
routines e.g. register, fruit and snack , general conversation.
Literacy in areas of curriculum.
