Using representations, such as a diagram or a picture of the problem.

11. Abstract
Children are now able to represent problems using notation, for example: 12+6=

Small groups based on ability
Focus on decoding words using phonic strategies
Your child will read aloud daily

29. Questions to ask your child…
Look at the front cover. What could the book be about?
Who is the author?
Who is the illustrator?
What does an illustrator do?
What does that word mean? Read the words around it to help you figure it out. (context)
How can you read an unfamiliar word? Can you blend to work it out?

30. Year 1 Phonics Four key principles:
Sounds (phonemes) are represented by letters (graphemes)
A sound (phoneme) can be represented by more than one letter
We have different ways to spell different sounds
Occasionally we use the same letters to represent different sounds

31. Year 1 Phonics
Towards the end of Year 1 all children will take part in a National phonics screening test.
They will be asked to read a selection of real and ‘alien’ words.

32. Year 1 Phonics

Last year the pass mark was 32 out of 40 and that has been the case for a few years

They are expected to sound out and blend back together
Pass mark is around 32 out of 40
