  1. Phonics Training for Parents October 2017

  2. What is phonics? • Letter sounds – not letter names • Government initiative • Good phonics = good reading, writing and spelling.

  3. Synthetic Phonics We use an approach called Synthetic Phonics. • Phonics for reading Children are taught to break down a word and say each phoneme (sound). • Phonics for writing Children are taught to reverse this process, saying the word and segment the sounds

  4. The Phonic Alphabet • The English language has 44 phonemes • They should be taught to write each letter, forming it accurately. • Children are taught to produce the sounds as shortly as possible, e.g no ‘uh’ on the end of ‘d’ and ‘g’.

  5. Enunciation • Teaching phonics requires a technical skill in enunciation • Phonemes should be articulated clearly and precisely. • Demonstration – what skills do you need to write the word cat ?

  6. Jolly Phonics • Each sound is supported by a story, a song and an action. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybiJTZNLvTI • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjKq8s8154s

  7. Letters and Sounds • 6 phases • Phase 1-listening to sounds • Phase 2 and beyond- introducing the phonemes.

  8. Phase 1:Good listening skills • Speaking and listening skills (games) • Rhyme – Willoughby Wallaby Woo! • Alliteration – Fabulous Fred or Zippy Zoe!

  9. Other teaching techniques • Alphablocks– use the cbeebies website, or BBCiplayer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0TDJbQdEUM

  10. Phase 1 outcomes: • They may be able to distinguish between speech sounds. • Many - blend and segment orally • Some - recognise words that rhyme and be able to provide a string of rhyming words e.g cat, bat, sat

  11. Letters and Sounds:Phase 2 • 19 phonemes and graphemes • Blend and segment • Tricky words

  12. Letters and Sounds: Phase 3 • Next 25 graphemes • Middle vowel phonemes e.g rain will be segmented into r-ai-n .

  13. Expectations • Phase 1: majority of children will be confident and achieved this level by the end of Nursery. • Most should leave Reception having achieved Phase 3 • Reading and writing independently • Confident readers and writers

  14. Reading • Your child will read at least once a week with an adult at school • You should read each book at least 3 times (Once for decoding; twice for fluency and the third time for comprehension). • Any reading that you do at home should be logged in the reading diary. • In the summer term the children may be given two books to take home, depending on their reading ability.

  15. Words • We have a set of the phase 2 and 3 tricky words for you to take home. • Practise with your child regularly as this will aide their reading and writing skills. Try to make this as fun as possible! • Record this in the reading diary. • We incorporate these words into our Phonics sessions.

  16. How to help at home • Use the pack we provide with you today- stick the sound mats up on the fridge! • Practise isolated sounds at home – possibly display them on the fridge? • Challenge the children to find objects that begin with a certain sound. • Play ‘I Spy’ with phonemes not letter names. • Practise letter formation. • Play rhyming bingo, lotto and extend rhyming strings. • Play games with word cards. • Make sentences with word cards.

  17. MANY THANKS TO YOU ALL! • Any questions?
