Presentation transcript:

Welcome [Please note: You may need one and a half to two hours for this presentation – to include looking at a mini Alphabetic Code Chart, taking the parents through the Activity Sheet routine – including all sections of it such as the folding-up part with the spelling-with-editing routine - and allowing time for questions at the end. Please time approximately how long your presentation will take.] [Preparation: An Activity Sheet of your choice, a mini Alphabetic Code Chart for attendees, pencils to write with.] If you adapt this powerpoint - or add to it, or delete some of it, please acknowledge that this is the case and that it isn’t the original powerpoint in its entirety. Thank you.

The Synthetic Phonics Teaching Principles KNOWLEDGE of the ALPHABETIC CODE = letters linked to the sounds of speech THREE CORE SKILLS ‘sounding out and blending’ for reading identifying sounds in words for spelling handwriting [You can expand on this: For example: Only new and unknown words need to be sounded out and blended. Once the sounds have been identified all-through-the-spoken-word, the learner needs to select the correct letters and letter groups which are code for the sounds. Early handwriting is taught as part of the multi-sensory approach to phonics teaching. Hear the sound, say the sound, write the letter shape or letter group.]

The sounds are taught in this order s-a-t-p-i-n m-d-g-o-c-k-ck e-u-r-h-b-f-ff l-ll-ss-j-v-w-x y-z-zz-qu ch-sh-th-ng-ai-ee-igh-oa-oo ar-or-ur-ow-oi-ear-air-ure-er

The princess wore a pale green dress. The girl reads the words in the book. She understands the words automatically if she would normally understand them when spoken. The more spoken language that children know, the better - as this supports reading.

anything and everything TALK TALK TALK There is nothing better than... shared sustained thinking and talking Chatter about anything and everything with children! This will help to build up your children’s stock of words and knowledge and understanding of the world – talk improves general comprehension and this will help the ability to read.

read read read massively increase their vocabulary, knowledge Children who read read read massively increase their vocabulary, knowledge and understanding The importance of developing a reading culture both at school and in the home cannot be over-emphasised. Find ways to encourage reading and to establish reading routines at home if possible – for example, reading at bedtime rather than watching that last TV programme!

What is the alphabetic code? Letters and letter groups are code for the individual sounds in our speech. Decoding the letter symbols into sounds is the basis for reading: See the printed word soap, say the sounds /s/ /oa/ /p/, blend the sounds to read (or discern) “soap” [Model the blending. Make sure that you say pure sounds /s/ /oa/ /p/ with no added ‘uh’ sound on the /s/ and /p/. The more accurately the sounds are uttered, the more likely the child is to ‘discern’ the focus word.

The alphabetic code is a reversible code: For spelling/writing: we start with sound and encode to print For reading: we start with print and decode to sound We teach that the code is reversible. The synthetic phonics teaching principles include the teaching of reading and spelling within the same lessons.

There are about 44 phonemes in the English spoken language but only 26 letters of the alphabet. We have not only single letters but also many letter groups as the written code for the speech sounds: Graphemes = letters or letter groups: t b a e sh ee ng igh ch ay Graphemes are the ‘spelling alternatives’ [Say the sounds for the graphemes on the slide – but make the point about not adding the schwa ‘uh’ effect – e.g. ‘t’ not ‘tuh’.]

Modifying the pronunciation The pronunciation of blended sounds often needs to be ‘tweaked’ or ‘modified’ to achieve the real word: See the printed word cheese Recognise the graphemes ch ee se At first, utter /ch/ /ee/ /s/ which leads to “chees” Modify the pronunciation to “cheez” The need to tweak or modify the pronunciation of blended words is quite a common feature – especially with many words ending with the letter ‘s’ such as ‘pies’ and ‘peas’. Children then need to learn that these words are not spelt with the letter ‘z’ at the end!

How the adult supports the learner to read is very important... Tell the learner the code: straight In this word, these letters are code for /ai/. Children will need different levels of support when reading aloud. There are different ways that the adult can help the learner to read the words.

2. Alternatively, model the sounding out and blending of the word to the learner. 3. Or simply tell the learner the words which are proving too difficult.

Over 250 FREE e-books There are masses of fantastic books, complete with narration, online at the Oxford Owl website. [And remember that you can hear the sounds and see their spelling alternatives at www.phonicsinternational.com .]

Home Learning This is a very important part of the process. The children will be given a sheet so that they can practice the sounds they have learnt this week. You need to sit with your child to complete this Use a pencil and encourage correct pencil grip.

Reading books Initially these are picture books to encourage the children to talk about and make up their own story. Then they move on to books with text, these build on the sounds the children have learnt so far. You should ‘read’ something with your child EVERYDAY for approximately 5 minutes.
