10. What is Phonics? Children are taught to recognise the sounds:
individual letter make
different combinations of letters make such as ‘sh’ or ‘oo’
Children are taught to:
blend sounds together from left to right
de-code new words that they hear or see such as ‘sh i p’

11. Terminology Grapheme – the written form of the sound
Phoneme – this is a discreet unit of sound (a, f, p)
Digraph – where two letters make one sound (er, sh, ee)
Trigraph – where three letters make one sound (igh, ear)
