1. Year 1 Phonics Year 1 Phonics

2. What is Phonics? Children begin to learn Phonics in Nursery and Reception Once children begin learning sounds, they use this knowledge to read and spell words. Children can then see the purpose of learning sounds. For this reason, the first initial sounds that are taught are ‘s’, ‘a’, ‘t’, ‘p’, ‘i’, ‘n’. These can immediately be blended for reading to make simple CVC words e.g. sat, pin. Children then develop segmenting skills to write.

3. BLENDING Recognising the letter sounds in a written word, for example c-u-p and putting or ‘blending’ them in the order in which they are written to pronounce the word ‘cup’ Reading Words

4. SEGMENTING ‘Chopping Up’ the word to spell it out The opposite of blending Robot Talking e.g c-a-t Spelling and writing words

5. Phases in Phonics

6. Purpose of Phase 1 Explore and experiment with sounds and words Distinguish between different sounds in the environment and phonemes Learn to orally blend and segment sounds in words

7. Purpose of Phase 2 Learn 19 phonemes and know the graphemes that represent them. Move on from orally blending and segmenting to blending and segmenting letters to read and spell (maybe with magnetic letters) VC and CVC words Introduce two syllable words, simple captions and some tricky HFW.

8. Phase 2 letter progression Set 1: satp Set 2:inmd Set 3:gock Set 4:ckeur Set 5:hbf,ffl,llss

9. Purpose of Phase 3 Teach another 25 phonemes and graphemes to go with them. Learn letter names Continue to practise blending and segmenting using new phonemes and two syllable words

11. Purpose of phase 4 To consolidate children’s knowledge of graphemes in reading and spelling words containing adjacent consonants and polysyllabic words

12. can blend adjacent consonants in words and apply this skill when reading unfamiliar texts, (CCVC, CVCC, CCVCC) step list clap grasp strap can segment adjacent consonants in words and apply this in spelling Phase 4

13. Purpose of Phase 5 Children broaden their knowledge of graphemes and phonemes for use in reading and spelling Learn new graphemes and alternative pronunciations some of which they will have already encountered in high frequency words Learn to choose the appropriate graphemes when spelling and begin to build up word specific knowledge

18. New National Curriculum Year 1 Reading Year 1Writing Year 1- Transcription Apply phonic knowledge and skills as the route to decode wordsSpell words containing each of the 40+ phonemes already taught Respond speedily with the correct sound to graphemes for all 40+ phonemes including alternative sounds for graphemes Spell common exception words Read accurately by blending sounds in unfamiliar words containing GPCs that have been taught Spell the days of the week Read common exception words, noting unusual correspondence between spelling and sound where these occur in word Name the letters of the alphabet in order Read words containing taught GPCs and –s, -es, -ing, -ed, -er and –est endings Use letter names to distinguish between alternative spellings of the same sound Read other words of more than one syllable that contain taught GPCs Use the spelling rule for adding –s or –es Read words with contractions (I’m, I’ll, we’ll) and understand that the apostrophe represents the omitted letter(s) Use the prefix –un Read aloud accurately books that are consistent with their developing phonic knowledge Using –ing, -ed, -er and –est where no change is needed in the spelling of root words Re-read these books to build up their fluency and confidence in word reading Apply simple spelling rules Write from memory simple sentences dictated by the teacher that include words using the GPCs and common exception words taught so far

19. Phonics Check in Year 1

20. Year 1 Phonics Screening Check

21. What is the Phonics Screening Check? Children in Year 1 throughout the country will all be taking part in the phonics screening check during the same week in June. If children did not pass the test in Year 1, they will retake the test in Year 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =JFW6YT2fW-s

22. What happens during the test? The test contains 40 words. Each child will sit one to one and read each word aloud to Mrs Ham (Phonics Leader). The test will take approximately 10 minutes per child; although all children are different and will complete the check at their own pace. The list of words the children read in a combination of 20 real words and 20 nonsense words.

23. Real and ‘Nonsense’ Words
