    Introduction

    Words and Pictures Fun with Phonics Whiteboard

    Actives and E Big Books are interactive resources

    or use in the classroom or whole-class teaching,

    group work, and paired or individual computer

    work.

    Fun with Phonics Letters and Sounds

    Phase 5 Whiteboard Active

    In Fun with Phonics Letters and Sounds

    Phase 5Whiteboard Active, the 44 phonemes

    o the English language are taught with the

    corresponding graphemes (letters) and alternative

    spelling patterns, along with the key skills children

    need or literacy:

    letter/sound matching

    blending phonemes together to read an

    unamiliar word

    segmenting a word into its individual

    phonemes and writing it down.

    These skills are taught at a ast pace, usually

    during the rst term o the Reception Year.

    The children are taught how to recognise the

    phonemes written down as letters (graphemes),

    how to blend and segment and how to writethe letters.

    The 44 phonemes and graphemes are reviewed

    using clips rom the BBC schools programmes

    Words and Pictures: Fun with Phonics. A table

    containing the phonemes covered in this and

    the previous three Fun with Phonics Whiteboard

    Active CD-ROMs is shown on page 4.

    In Fun with Phonics 1 Alphabet Sounds and

    Letters, the children move rom phoneme

    level to word level.

    In Fun with Phonics 2 Alphabet Sounds, Letters

    and Consonant Digraphs, the children move

    rom phoneme level to word level introducing

    consonant digraphs.

    In these two Whiteboard Actives, the children

    review individual phonemes, blend and segment

    three-phoneme words, then our-phoneme

    words with end consonant clusters, ollowed by

    words with initial consonant clusters and nally,

    ve-phoneme words. They also learn consonantdigraph phonemes.

    In Fun with Phonics 3 Vowel Digraphs, this

    same pattern continues and develops, with

    vowel digraph phonemes and vowel phonemes

    with r.

    In Fun with Phonics Letters and Sounds Phase 5,the children are introduced to the concept o

    alternative spellings or reading and writing

    (phonemes can be written down in other main

    ways) and alternative pronunciations (a letter

    or letters can make more than one sound).

    As the childrens skills develop through the our

    Whiteboard Actives, they are introduced to

    sentence-level work or both reading and spelling.

    Phonically irregular words, called tricky words

    are also taught, to enable progression rom wordlevel to sentence level.

    A multi-sensory approach

    Through a multi-sensory approach that develops

    concentration, attention and good listening, thechildren continue to practise key literacy skills.

    In this CD-ROM, the children continue to move

    rom phoneme level to word level to sentence

    level as they are introduced to the concepts

    o alternative pronunciations and alternative

    spellings o phonemes. The children review the

    phonemes that have been taught initially in

    Reception and learn that these phonemes can be

    written down in other main ways the phoneme

    ai can also be written down as ay as in play anda-e as in name.

    They also learn that consonants and vowels

    can have more than one pronunciation the

    letter a can be pronounced a as in hat, ai as in

    acorn, ar as in ast and o as in was. The letter c

    can be pronounced c as in cat and s as in cell.

    This represents a new level o complexity in the

    childrens learning.

    Additional tricky words, phonically irregular

    words, are included in the activities in both theWhiteboard Active and the E Big Book to enable

    progression rom word level to sentence level.

    In the Whiteboard Active, the children are taught

    the alternative spelling patterns o each phoneme

    and then practise reading and segmenting

    words with these patterns. Next, they move

    on to sentence work. The E Big Book provides

    opportunities to practise using these skills

    when reading phonically regular text, as well

    as an opportunity to begin to develop ocused

    comprehension work.

    The Teachers book

    This Teachers bookprovides notes and materials

    to support classroom teaching o synthetic

    phonics at the alternative-spelling level (see

    DES Letters and Sounds: Principles and Practiceof High Quality Phonics). Lesson outlines are

    provided to support the teaching o alternative

    spelling o phonemes, incorporating alternative

    pronunciations as well as work on alternative

    spellings or reading and writing. There are also

    activity sheets to provide practice with blending

    and segmenting at word- and sentence-level work

    with sentence-completion activities.

    Best-practice teaching of synthetic phonicsBest-practice teaching of synthetic phonics

    The 44 phonemes

    Synthetic phonics is all about sounds. In synthetic

    phonics, children are taught 44 speech sounds o

    the English language, how to match sound to letter

    and then how to use the key skills o blending (or

    reading) and segmenting (or spelling).

    Letter/sound match

    Ater learning to identiy individual phonemes,

    children are shown these phonemes (the smallest

    units o sound), written down as a letter. It is

    explained that these graphemes (letters) are

    the picture o the sound written down. In this

    way, the relationship between letter and soundis established or the phonemes, both the single

    alphabet graphemes (one sound represented by

    one letter) and digraphs (one sound represented

    by two letters). An action to go with the phoneme

    (sound) can also be taught so that the children

    learn in a multi-sensory way. This incorporates a

    variety o learning styles and helps the children to

    learnquicklyandeasily.

    Blending

    The children are introduced to 44 phonemes,

    including single alphabet letters (graphemes) and

    consonant and vowel pairs (digraphs) over a short

    period o time, usually no more than eight weeks.

    They are then taught how to blend (synthesize)

    these sounds together to read unamiliar words.

    They sound out the letters and say the word.

    Segmenting

    For spelling and writing, the children say a wordand break it down (segment it) into its individual

    phonemes and then write it down.

    In synthetic phonics there are three essential tools

    or literacy: letter/sound matching, blending and

    segmenting. It is important or rst-time teaching

    that these phonemes and related skills are taught

    at a ast pace, so that the skills become automatic

    and can be applied fuently.

    In this multi-sensory method o phonics teaching,

    theprogressionofskillacquisitiongoesfromsimple to complex so that children work with

    three phonemes, then our phonemes, then ve,

    when blending and segmenting at word level.

    Progression

    encouraged to progress rom sound, to word,

    to sentence or both reading and spelling.

    Atwordlevel,childrenworkwithCVC

    words, CVCC, CCVC and CCVCC words, using

    44 phonemes.

    Inalesson,theprogressionis:sound,toword,

    to sentence, with the key skills o letter/sound

    match, blending and segmenting included.

    Anadditionalskill,phonememanipulation

    (swapping the sounds o an existing word

    to make a new word), is also used. This has

    been shown to be very eective in helpingallchildrenacquireliteracyskills,particularly

    slow-to-start children and children with Special

    Educational Needs.

    In this CD-ROM, the children move on to learning

    about alternative spellings o phonemes. The

    children are taught that the phonemes with which

    they are amiliar can be written down in other main

    ways. They learn to read and write these alternative

    spelling patterns o the phonemes.

    Teaching

    When planning synthetic-phonics teaching or the

    classroom, reinorcement and repetition o earlier

    learning needs to be included; or example, the

    children practise the phonemes previously taught,

    not just the new ones taught that day or that

    week. This strengthens the childrens learning and

    provides a secure basis or new learning.

    Attention and concentrationAt the start o the lesson, children listen actively

    by looking at the teacher, sitting appropriately,

    ready to interact. The children are also expected

    to remember previous learning and to recall it.

    In this way, concentration and attention skills are

    developed. Teaching is delivered at a lively pace in

    a multi-sensory and interactive way. This approach

    supports ocused behaviour as well as learning.

    A multi-sensory approach

    During the lesson, children see, hear and do.

    Little and oten is the best practice, so that by

    frequentandregularpractiseofthekeyskillsof

    letter/sound matching, blending and segmenting,

    the childrens skills become fuent and automatic.

    The lesson

    Within each lesson, both reading and spelling,

    opposite sides o the language processing system,

    are used. The progression within the lesson is

    sound, word, sentence or reading and spelling.

    The key skills o letter/sound matching, blending

    and segmenting are always included. Phonememanipulation (changing the sounds within a word)

    provides vital experience in working at phoneme

    level. As the children work on reading and spelling

    in the same lesson, they learn that the alphabetic

    code is reversible, so they can write down what

    they say and read back what they write. Letters

    and sounds or reading, sounds and letters or

    spelling: literacy skills or all are enhanced.

    Development

    Forchildrentoacquirethekeytoolsforliteracy,

    they need the skills o:

    letter/sound (phoneme) match

    blending phonemes together to read an

    unamiliar word

    segmenting a word into its individual phonemes

    and writing it down.

    The 44 phonemes and the matching graphemes

    o the English language are taught to the childrenat a ast pace. Usually this occurs during the rst

    term o the Reception year. The children are taught

    how to recognise the phonemes written down as

    letters, how to blend, segment and to write letters

    (graphemes). As soon as the children have been

    taught our consonants and two vowels they are

    able to begin developing these skills.

    In this Letters and Sounds: Phase 5Whiteboard

    Active, the alternative spellings o phonemes,

    both consonants and vowels, are taught. Clips

    rom the BBC programme Words and Pictures:

    Fun with Phonics are used to review the rst-time

    teaching o the phoneme and then through a

    series o activities, the alternative spelling patterns

    or the phonemes are taught. In Phase 5, the

    children move rom phoneme level to word level

    to sentence level. The children review individual

    phonemes, learn alternative spelling patterns andthen blend and segment three-phoneme words

    and our-phoneme words using the alternative

    spelling patterns o the ocus phoneme. This

    represents a new level o complexity. As the

    childrens skills develop they are introduced to

    sentence level work or both reading and writing.

    Phonically irregular words called tricky words are

    also taught in this CD-ROM to enable progression

    rom word level to sentence level.

    Glossary of terms

    Thisglossarydenesthetermsusedfrequently

    in synthetic phonics teaching, and throughout

    this book.Blending

    Visual blending: this is the skill o recognising

    letters (graphemes) in print, saying the sounds

    and sliding them together to say an unamiliar

    word.

    Oral blending: the skill o blending can be

    practised orally beore introducing print, as in

    the Robot Game, where the robot says the sounds,

    then the child says the sounds and blends them

    together to get the word. This is particularlyhelpul or children who are nding literacy

    skills dicult.

    CCVC word: a word with the pattern consonant-

    consonant-vowel-consonant. The vowel sound is

    short, as in crab, spot, twig.

    CCVCC word: a word with the pattern consonant-

    consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant. The vowel

    sound is short as in s-t-a-m-p and g-r-a-n-d.

    Consonants: these are the alphabet phonemesthat are not vowels. They are made by the tongue

    or lips contacting the mouth and changing the air

    fow (e.g: b, d, t, m).

    CVC word: a word with the pattern consonant-

    vowel-consonant (e.g. pig). In these words the

    vowel is short, as in peg, an, lip, dog, gun.

    CVCC word: a word with the pattern consonant-

    vowel-consonant-consonant. The vowel sound is

    short, as in lamp, mist, sand.

    CVVC word: a word with the pattern consonant-

    vowel-vowel-consonant. The vowel sound is long

    as in r-ai-n, and b-oa-t.

    Digraph: one phoneme written down by two

    letters (e.g: ng, sh, ie, oi, er).

    Grapheme: this is the phoneme (sound) written

    down using a letter or letters.

    Manipulation: this is the skill o reading a word,

    identiying the individual phonemes in the word

    and then changing a sound to make a new word

    (e.g. rat becomes ran, then man, then men).

    Oral comprehension:askingquestionsusingwho, what, where and when to help children

    understand the text. Whyquestionscanalsobe

    used,butrequireinferenceanddeductionto

    nd the answer, rather than simple retrieval o

    inormation rom the text.

    Phoneme: this is the smallest unit o sound. It is

    only one sound, but it can be represented by one

    or more letters (e.g: ng, ai, th, ar).

    Segmenting

    Segmentation: this is the skill o breaking

    down a word into the individual phonemes

    (e.g. cat = c-a-t). The phonemes are written

    down as letters to make a word.

    Oral segmentation: is when the spoken word

    is broken down into single phonemes. Using a

    multi-sensory method is helpul or segmentation.

    The child says the word cat then says the

    individual phonemes that make up the word and

    ficks up a nger or each one. This stage can

    precede the written stage.

    Tricky words: phonically irregular words that

    need to be remembered by sight.

    Vowels: these are phonemes made by changing

    the shape o the mouth cavity (e.g: a, e, i, o, u, ai,

    ee, ie, oa, ue).

    in words and sentences, they move on to

    learn that each phoneme has other main ways

    o being written down.

    with a good sitting posture, are looking at

    the speaker, have their attention engaged

    and are ready to listen or the phonemes.

    Toensurethatthechildrensknowledge

    o the phonemes is secure, review the ocus

    phoneme by going to the Introduce and

    teach activity pages. GototheIntroduce and teach video pages to

    show the children the sound and its grapheme.

    Say the sound, or example, ai and play the

    video to show the sound written down.

    Askthechildrentosaythephonemeand

    to write the letter (or letters) accurately with

    a nger in the air and then write it down

    on a small, lined whiteboard.

    TheWord SortGame is described in the

    notepad to help the children practise reading

    and sorting words containing the ocus

    phoneme. These words can also be dictated

    so that reading and spelling skills develop

    together.

    Teaching the alternative spelling

    patterns

    Explaintothechildrenthatlongagowhen

    our language was rst written down, therewere several ways o writing down a

    phoneme, or example, ai.

    GototheIntroduce and teach video pages.

    Click on the markers and ask the children to

    read the alternative spelling patterns as they

    appear and then to blend and read the words

    containing that pattern. For ai, the spelling

    patterns a, ay, a-e and ey will be shown. Further

    activities to develop this learning can be ound in

    the notepad. Click on the page numbers to nd

    the activities.

    Reviewthealternativespellingsandwordson

    the page to give extra practice and to ensure

    that the childrens learning is secure.

    InUnit 2: Alternate graphemes or spelling

    and reading, you can use the Look, say andread activities to help the children identiy the

    dierent spelling patterns o the ocus phoneme.

    Ask the children to say the word represented by

    the picture, then click on the picture to show the

    word. Ask the children to blend the sounds and

    underline the alternative spelling pattern in the

    word using the draw tool.

    Class/group activities

    For additional practice recognising the alternativespelling patterns o the ocus phoneme:

    PlaytheGrab game: Using the alternative

    spelling cards, place twelve cards on the

    table-top. The children sit in a U-shape around

    the table with hands in laps, looking at the

    cards, ready to start. Say a word with an

    alternative spelling or the ocus phoneme

    and the children grab the card with the correct

    spelling pattern. This is repeated until all the

    cards have been won. The children read backthe cards they have won, saying a word that

    contains the spelling pattern and the winner

    is declared.

    Writing the alternative spelling patterns or the

    ocus phoneme: Give the children individual,

    small, lined whiteboards and pens. Say a

    word with the alternative spelling pattern or

    the ocus phoneme and ask the children to

    write the pattern down. Repeat using words

    with the other spelling patterns until all thealternatives or the ocus phoneme have been

    written down. Ask the children to read back the

    spelling patterns they have written and to say

    a word with each pattern in it. Monitor correct

    ormation, orientation and position o letters

    on the line. For examples o words containing

    the ocus phoneme see the resources section o

    the Teachers book.

    Blending

    Visual blending

    When the children come across a word they do

    not know, ask them to sound it out, matchingletter to sound, or example, t-r-ai-n and then

    ask them to say the word. All phonically regular

    words can be sounded out in this way.

    For the split digraph (one sound represented

    by two letters but split by a consonant as in

    gate) the children are taught that the pattern

    a-consonant-e, a-e, still says ai.

    Reading the alternative spelling

    as they say each phoneme. This multi-sensory

    approach helps the children remember the

    teaching and supports spelling skills.

    To develop segmenting skills, go to the Practisesegmenting: make a word activity pages:

    Say a word rom those listed on the rst page

    o the notepad. The children repeat the word

    and segment it, using phoneme ngers.

    Fingers are olded, the word is repeated, then

    as each phoneme is said, the children fick up anger as in t-r-ai-n.

    Drag the letters on the page into the boxes

    to make the word and ask the children to say

    the word again.

    Withasequenceoflettersandsixwords,

    practice is given in segmenting and spelling

    words.

    Cover the page using the mask tool and dictate

    the words rom the notepad to the children,

    who segment the words using phoneme

    ngers and then write them on small, lined

    whiteboards. Finally, the children read back the

    words they have written.

    activity pages:

    Ask the children to read the words in the box

    at the bottom o the page beore reading the

    sentences with the missing words.

    Next, ask the children to complete the

    sentences by dragging the missing word into

    the correct sentence and reading it again.

    Class/group activities

    For children who are experiencing dicultywith visual segmenting, playing the Phoneme

    Finger Game in a small group with the teacher

    is helpul as extra practice segmenting words:

    The teacher says a word. The children fick up

    their olded ngers or each sound in the word

    to practise accurate segmentation.

    Next, the children hide their hands under the

    table and the teacher says a word (two-, three-

    or our-phoneme words can be used, depending

    on the childrens skill level). The children countthe phonemes on their ngers. The teacher calls

    phoneme ngers and the children show the

    number o phonemes with their ngers.

    Teaching alternative pronunciations

    In certain words, some graphemes are pronounced

    using a dierent sound. In the Sort it! pages you

    will nd a word sort activity to introduce the

    children to these alternative pronunciations o

    vowels, consonants and digraphs.

    With these pages, ask the children to sound out

    the words below the boxes. When the blending

    produces a nonsense word, tell them to try the

    alternative sound o that letter e.g. sound out nd,

    -i (as in pig) -n-d. Tell the children that i i does

    not work, then they should try ie. You will nd the

    alternative pronunciations listed in the notepad.

    When the children have blended and read the

    words accurately, they drag each word into the

    correct box or that grapheme pronunciation.

    For children who need extra practice in

    identiying the choices, you will nd more

    activities in the notepad.
