The Phonic Alphabet • The English language has 44 phonemes • Children should be taught to write each letter, forming them accurately. • Children are taught to produce the sounds as short as possible, e.g. no ‘uh’ on the end of ‘d’ and ‘g’. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ksblMiliA8&t=204s/

Phonics Check – Y1 • Statutory ‘light touch’ check on phonics understanding – including use of non-words. • Helps to identify which children need support in this area. • The check is age appropriate and is given by a teacher who all the children know.
Children will be regularly assessed by their class teacher to ensure that they are making progress • Children who need extending or supporting in phonics will benefit from additional intervention groups
How to help at home • Practise sounds your child is working on in class. • 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.
