3. What is Phonics?
Phonics Is the term given to the sounds a letter or letters make.
Fast paced programme learning a new sound daily – we use Jolly Phonics and Letters and Sounds together.
There are 44 sounds in the English Language.
Phonics teaches your child to read and write.

10. Phonics Words! Tricky Words the as is no go

the as is no go

11. From Phonics to Writing
Children begin with single sounds and we build this up to cvc words to writing phonetically plausible attempts at words.
For example
Was – woz good – gud circle – sercl
We praise children for their attempts and will only correct during a phonics session. More often than not if we can read it we will not correct if it is independent writing.

16. Reading Record
Write the comment to the child straight after reading. This models writing skills but also makes it relevant to the child and will boost their confidence.
We want it to become a conversation between home and school. We read this first before we listen to the children read.
For example
Well done Priya, you were using the pictures to read. You sounded out the word cat and read it all by yourself – fantastic!

17. Phase Three Embed skills previously taught Teach long vowel sounds

19. Reading Top Tips
Reading books will be sent home with a reading record. Please write a comment or sign each week.
Little but often.
Allow children to use the pictures to read unfamiliar words.
Assist in the segmenting and blending of words.
Give lots of praise and encouragement – it can take a while for child to get into the routine of reading.
DON’T GET YOUR CHILD TO READ IF THEY ARE TIRED!!
We only send home one book a week as we know they will be doing other reading. We listen to all children read each week.

21. So how can you help at home?
Be a good role model show your child you are interested in reading.
Try and ensure that a bedtime story is read every night. Statistics state that is increase a child’ s reading age over a child who doesn’t have a bed time story by 18months.
Sound talk at home it can turn into a game.
We are going to the p-ar-k. It helps them to begin to blend the sounds.
When writing with your child sound out as you write this includes texting and ing.
Write a shopping list with your child modelling writing they then have to tick of the shopping – what sound does milk start with which word do you think it is… etc

22. So how can you help at home?
Oral blending: the robot game
Children need to practise hearing a series of spoken sounds and merging them together to make a word.
For example, you say ‘b-u-s’, and your child says ‘bus’.
Using the environment to spot sounds/words they already know.
