months• Continues a rhyming string.• Hears and says the initial sound in words.• Can segment the sounds in simple words and blend them together and knows which

letters represent some of them.• Links sounds to letters, naming and sounding the letters of the alphabet.• Begins to read words and simple sentences.• Uses vocabulary and forms of speech that are increasingly influenced by their

experiences of books.• Knows that information can be retrieved from books and computers.• Early Learning Goal

Children read and understand simple sentences. They use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and read them aloud accurately. They also read some common irregular words. They demonstrate understanding when talking with others about what they have read.

A structured 6 phase programme for the teaching

of phonics.• Uses a wealth of listening activities, songs, stories and

rhymes to engage the learner.• It teaches graphemes and phonemes and how to blend

and segment words.• The ultimate goal is the automatic reading of all words,

both decodable and tricky.

Letters and Sounds

What will come home?• Reading books: usually 2 in a week. (Please remember

that in addition to these your child will use another book during their group read and Big Books in school)

• Key words: Each phase in Letters and Sounds teaches high frequency words. In Foundation Stage we aim to learn both Phase 2 and Phase 3 words. That’s 32 and 24 words respectively. These will be sent home, usually in sets of 5, to learn.

• Letters and Sounds: A sound book and some action strips.

• Later in the year, a spelling journal that reinforces key word knowledge.

Please keep everything together in your child’s reading folder along with the reading record book and send it each day. We have a time table for the different activities on the front of your keyword folder.

How can you help & support?

• By staying relaxed and calm!• Be a role model: let your child see that you enjoy reading.• Enjoy stories and poems together. Re-read favourites and encourage

prediction.• Read signs, packets, coins, tickets, sweet wrappers, stickers……….• Use the library.• Try an activity each day. Short, positive input as your child’s concentration

dictates. A little and often!• Feel free to put comments in the reading record book. If there is no

message simply date and initial so that we get an idea of whether it’s appropriate to change the materials. We all get busy and have nights when nothing gets done!

• Be positive, encouraging and offer praise.• Avoid comparisons with other children or siblings.• Remember that every child is a learner, taking steps of different sizes.
