PHONICS IS ALL ABOUT USING …
Learning phonics will help your child to become a good reader and writer
skills for reading and
spelling+
knowledge of the
alphabet
In school, we follow the Letters and
Sounds programme. Letters and
Sounds is a phonics resource
published by the Department for
Education and Skills which consists
of six phases.
Phonemes: The smallest units of sound that are found within a word
Grapheme: The spelling of the sound e.g. Th
Diagraph: Two letters that make one sound when read
Trigraphs: Three letters that make one sound
CVC: Stands for consonant, vowel, consonant.
Segmenting is breaking up a word into its sounds.
Blending : Putting the sounds together to read a word
Tricky words: Words that cannot easily be decoded.
PHASE 1 There are 7 aspects with 3 strands.
A1 – Environmental
A2 – Instrumental sounds
A3 – Body Percussion
A4 – Rhythm and rhyme
A5 – Alliteration
A6 – Voice sounds
A7 – Oral blending and segmenting.
HOW CAN I HELP AT HOME?
• Nursery rhymes, songs, action rhymes.
• Add sound effects to stories.
• Music and movement: rhythm, guess the instrument.
• Talking about sounds: listening walks, loud/soft, high/low, silly noises.
• Speaking & listening: silly sentences “Happy Harry hops”, mimics, animal sounds.
PHASE 2Set 1: s, a, t, pSet 2: i, n, m, dSet 3: g, o, c, kSet 4: ck, e, u, rSet 5: h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss
SAYING THE SOUNDSSounds should be articulated clearly and precisely.

WE TEACH USING JOLLY PHONICS... We teach the letter sound and use a
mnemonic or action with a song to help the children remember.
PHASE 3Set 6: j, v, w, xSet 7: y, z, zz, quConsonant digraphs: ch, sh, th, ng
Vowel digraphs: ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er
PHONICS WORDSYour children will learn to use the term:
Segmenting
Children need to be able to hear a whole word and say every sound that they hear .
PHONICS WORDSYour children will learn to use the term:
Blending
Children need to be able to hear the separate sounds in a word and then blend them together to say the whole word .
HOW CAN I HELP AT HOME?
Oral blending: the robot game
Children need to practise hearing a series of spoken sounds and merging them together to make a word.
For example, you say ‘b-u-s’, and your child says ‘bus’.
“What’s in the box?” is a great game for practising this skill.
WHAT DOES A PHONICS LESSON LOOK LIKE?
Revisit/review
Alphabet song (Mr Thorne!)Flashcards/phoneme fans to practice phonemes learnt so far/moving games!
Teach Teach new phoneme ‘a’
Practice Games eg Buried treasure/messy play/magnetic letters/boards/shopping lists
Apply Read/write captions:A man sat on a pin.
RESOURCES...
There are lots of fantastic resources online.
Mr Thorne and Geraldine the Giraffe are firm favourites!
Twinkl phonics is a great ipad app.
HIGH FREQUENCY WORDS... Word sets – practise at home; reinforced in
class. Changed every week if known. Please make notes in the back of the Phonics book. Lots of these words cannot be sounded out, they need to be learnt by sight eg was, said.
