Welcome to the phonics workshop.

I hope that you are beginning to

understand how a child feels when they are learning to read.

What is systematic phonics teaching?

This teaches children the correspondence between

graphemes in written language and phonemes in spoken

language, and how to use these correspondences to read and

spell.

Letters and sounds.

•Six phases•Phase 1 Pre schoolEmphasis on speaking and listening.

Increase range and depth of language.

‘Talk a lot families’• ..but providing lots of

opportunities for language learning in the home is vital-it makes the biggest difference to how well a child goes on to achieve.

• (Every Child a Talker 2008)

Oral blending:

• Hearing a series of spoken sounds (phonemes) and merging them together to make a spoken word. No text is used.

• For example, ‘Can you get me a tin of b-ea-n-s? ‘Where is the p-e-n?’

• This skill should be taught within Phase 1 before blending and reading printed words.

• Letters: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

• Some of the 140 (approx.) letter combinations illustrated within words:

• cat, look, would, put, peg, bread, cart, fast, pig, wanted, burn, first, term, heard, work, log, want, torn, door, warn, plug, love, haul, law, call, pain, day, gate, station, wooden, circus, sister, sweet, heat, thief, these, down, shout, tried, light, my, shine, mind, coin, boy, road, blow, bone, cold, stairs, bear, hare, moon, blue, grew, tune, fear, beer, here, baby, sun, mouse, city, science, dog, tap, field, photo, van, game, was, hat, where, judge, giant, barge, yes, cook, quick, mix, Chris, zebra, please, is, lamb, then, monkey, comb, thin, nut, knife, gnat, chip, watch, paper, ship, mission, chef, rabbit, wrong, treasure, ring, sink.

• Phonemes:

What is a phoneme?•A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound and can comprise of more than letter.

Eg a or ai• A grapheme is the symbol for a phoneme.

• Digraph• 2 letters that make 1 phoneme• ee, ch, oa

• Trigraph• 3 letters that make 1 phoneme• igh, dge

•Split digraph•o-e hope•a-e cake•u-e cube•i-e dive

•Segmenting words for spelling. (finger counting)

•Blending for reading (running finger along)

•And that these are reversible processes

Phase 2•Reception•Beginning of systematic high quality phonic work (grapheme phoneme correspondence)

•s a t p i n

•c-a-t blend sounds together to read ‘cat’

•To segment (chop / spell) c-a-t•boat = b-oa-t•chip= ch-i-p•might = m-igh-t• hill = h-i-ll

Phase 3

•Complete the teaching of the alphabet.

•Learn 1 representation for at least 42 of the 44 phonemes of British Received Pronunciation

•Children should be working securely in this phase by the end of Reception

•How many items can your child find that begin with ‘m’?•Can your child make something that begins with ‘s’ using playdough?•Can you find something in the supermarket beginning with ‘b’?•Play ‘I-spy’ using this weeks letter sounds.

•Can your child see the chosen letter in a book or outside? •Put several items on a tray that all begin with the same sound and one that begins with a different sound. Can your child tell you the odd one out?

If your child is ready to start writing letters, please help them to write lower case lettersonly. Please encourage your child to use our ‘Penpal’ script. Children may like to do this outside using chalk or water and a large paint brush.

If your child knows all their letter sounds and is able to write them, they may like to write a list of words beginning with each sound and bring it in to share with the class. Please help your child to write the sounds they can hear in each word.

Most important of all:•Only carry out activities for 5 or 10 minutes, but on a regular basis.

•Be positive and use lots of praise.
