Phonics for Phonics for ParentsParents
Why phonics?
• Not the only way, but the most effective way for most children to learn to read
• Breaks it down into learnable chunks
• Systematic
Rose Review of Early Reading 2006
Found that:• Speaking and listening skills are essential as a
basis for reading and writing• Children learn best in a broad and rich language
environment
Recommended that:• Systematic discrete phonic work to teach
accurate and fluent reading• Using phonics for spelling
How do we read a word we don’t know?
Antejentacular• Break it down• Sound it out• Use spelling patterns e.g. ‘ante’
(It means before breakfast!)
Phonemes and Graphemes
• Phonemes – sounds44 phonemes in the English language we learn the pure sounds (listen to the sounds on the next page)
• Graphemes – the letters representing each sound e.g. c ai igh
We start by learning one way of writing each sound
The 44 phonemes
/b/ /d/ /f/ /g/ /h/ /j/ /k/ /l/ /m/ /n/ /ng/
/p/ /r/ /s/ /t/ /v/ /w/ /y/ /z/ /th/ /th/ /ch/
/sh/ /zh/ /a/ /e/ /i/ /o/ /u/ /ae/ /ee/ /ie/ /oe/
/ue/ /oo/ /ar/ /ur/ /au/ /er/ /ow/ /oi/ /air/ /ear/ /ure/
Blending
c-u-p ‘blend’ them in the order in which
they are written to pronounce the word ‘cup’
Blend these words…
•drep•blom•gris
Segmenting
• ‘Chopping Up’ the word to spell it out
• The opposite of blending
Once children are good with single phonemes…
• digraphs – 2 letters that make one soundll ss zz oa ai
• trigraphs – 3 letters that make one soundigh dge
We use sound buttons to show the phonemes more clearly: f igh t
Segmenting Activity
• How many sound buttons would you need for these words?
• shelf• thick• sprint
Did you get it right?
• shelf = sh – e – l – f = 4 phonemes
• dress = th - i - ck = 3 phonemes
• sprint = s – p – r – i – n – t = 6 phonemes
Tricky words
• Words that are not phonically decodeable
e.g. was, the, I, said
• Some are ‘tricky’ to start with but can be decoded once we have learned the harder phonemes e.g. we
Each year group has a list of tricky words to learn
Letters and Sounds• Systematic daily phonics lessons• Keep practicing what we have learnt• Use what we have learnt in reading and
writing• Multisensory – songs, actions,
movements• Throughout KS1 and beyond
Keep on Speaking and Listening
• Explaining what you are doing• Listening to their thoughts• Modelling not correcting• Singing and saying rhymes• Sharing books• Retelling stories
Example of a phonic Reading Book
Reading
• Little and often• Daily if possible – a few minutes• Also continue reading to your
child regularly.
Writing
• Let them use as many sounds as they can hear
glgdeeloks
Once you have a grapheme for each
sound...
...You can have a go at anything!
‘antee dis establishment air ee anism’
‘sparkling, glitering, fierwirk!’
Thank you for listening!
