What is Phonics?

• Phonics teaches children the correspondences
  between graphemes in written language and
  phonemes in spoken language, and how to use these
  to read and spell words.
• The children started this learning in nursery,
  through listening games and songs where they have
  to learn to identify and segment units of sound
  in speech, into
• Words
• Syllables chat ter box!
• Phonemes sh o - p

Jolly Phonics

• Letters are introduced as 3 or 4 sounds a week.
• Taught through structured learning and play.
• Each sound is introduced in a multi-sensory way
  with a song, action and story (see action sheet).
• Children are taught to write the shape of the
  letter with the correct movement (see letter
  formation sheet). Children should use a pincer
  grip on their pencil.
• As soon as the first few sounds have been taught,
  children are taught to blend with them.
• e.g. h a t hat sh o p shop

Developing Phonological Awareness

• Through the WfL approach, children are given
  daily opportunities to develop their phonological
  awareness through everyday games and activities,
  including
• Poems and songs
• Clapping the rhythm in songs or words from book
• Odd one out listening games cat, mat, car, sat
• Making up nonsense words, rhymes and alliterative
  sentences Sad Sarah sat silently on the sofa.
• Bingo, snap and lotto sound games
• Sound feely bags

• Recognise and generate alliteration Super Sarah
• Recognise and generate rhyme and rime
• Rime - stale, male, kale (sound and spelt the
  same)
• Rhyme - hey, may, lei (sound the same but spelt
  differently)
• Identify single sounds in spoken words diff- er
  - ent
• Blend sounds smoothly together c a - t
• Identify consonant clusters in spoken words - str
• Identify long vowel sounds in spoken words a e
  i o u

13
How can I help at home?

• Check your childs sounds homework to know
  which sounds have been taught. Then you can
  highlight these sounds when you read with your
  child.
• With all books, encourage your child to sound
  out simple unfamiliar words.
• Always pronounce sounds as pure sounds, m not
  muh, this will make blending much easier.
• Playing games together, with words and
  sounds.
