Skills of segmentation and blending

5. The sounds of English British spoken English is generally reckoned to use 44 sounds, or ‘phonemes’.

6. Pronouncing Phonemes 1. f l m n r s sh v th z (continuous phonemes)
2. e p t ch h (unvoiced)
3. b d g w qu y j (voiced)

7. Read this and then talk to the person next to you about what it means.
Маленькім дзецям знайсці чытання і пісьму цяжка. Гэта, як вы праглядаеце новы мову, які вы ніколі не бачылі раней. Літары могуць мець мала або не мае сэнсу. Сапраўды, лісты толькі формы на старонцы. 
This is what reading is like for young children!
We need to give them strategies and tools for being able to work out what it says.

8. The text was Belarusian and said:
Young children find reading and writing difficult. It is like you reading a new language that you have never seen before. The letters may have little or no meaning. Really, letters are just shapes on a page. 

9. Key concepts
Sounds (phonemes) are represented by letters (graphemes)

10. Key concepts
A phoneme can be represented by one letter or by a group of 2 or more letters
(e.g. ‘sh’, ‘igh’ ‘eigh’)

11. Key concepts
The same sound (phoneme) can be represented more than one way
rain
May
lake

12. Key concepts The same spelling may represent more than one sound mean
deaf

13. Letter sounds and actions demonstration

19. Phoneme Frame

20. Can you use the phoneme frame to work out how many sounds there are in these words?
pig p i g
church ch ur
boy
curl
thorn
chick
down
shirt

21. Tricky words
Children will learn a few of these in each phase. They are words that are not phonically decodeable (e.g. was, the, I)
Some are ‘tricky’ to start with but will become decodeable once we have learned the harder phonemes e.g. out, there
Phase 2 tricky words – I, to, the, no, go
Phase 3 tricky words – he, she, you, we, me, be, was, my, they, her, all, are 

22. Now you have the knowledge….
Play lots of sound and listening games with your child. Use the ‘Learning through Play – Letter & Sounds’ leaflet for ideas.
Read as much as possible to and with your child.
Encourage and praise – get them to have a ‘good guess’, use sounding out (blending) and try to recognise tricky words.
Read at home for a short time every night and practise the flashcards in your child’s bag.
Remember that there are other skills your child needs to develop for reading, not just phonics.
See the bookmark for ideas of questions to ask when your child is reading.
