  1. School Phonics

  2. 5 Basic Skills 1. Learning the letter sounds 2. Letter formation 3. Blending and segmenting words 4. Identifying sounds in words 5. Tricky words

  3. Phonemes • The smallest unit of sound in a word. • There are 44 phonemes that we teach.

  4. Phonemes • Set 1 letters s a t p • Set 2 letters m d i n • Set 3 letters g o c k • Set 4 letters ck e u r • Set 5 letters h b f, ff l, ll ss • Set 6 letters j v w x • Set 7 letters y z,zz qu

  5. digraphs (two letters making one sound) sh ch th ng ai ee oa oo ar or ur ow oi er

  6. Grapheme • Letters representing a phoneme e.g. c ai igh Children need to practise recognising the grapheme and saying the phoneme that it represents.

  7. The 44 phonemes

  8. BLENDING • Recognising the letter sounds in a written word, for example c-u-p and merging or ‘blending’ them in the order in which they are written to pronounce the word ‘cup’

  9. SEGMENTING • ‘Chopping Up’ the word to spell it out • The opposite of blending • Use your ‘Phoneme Fingers’

  10. Segment and blend these words… • drep • blom • gris Nonsense games like this help to build up skills – and are fun!

  11. Once children are good with single phonemes… • DIGRAPHS – 2 letters that make 1 sound ll ss zz oa ai • TRIGRAPHS – 3 letters that make 1 sound ere air

  12. Segmenting Activity • Use your ‘phoneme fingers’ to say how many phonemes in each word. • shelf • dress • sprint • string

  13. Did you get it right? • shelf = sh – e – l – f = 4 phonemes • dress = d - r - e – ss = 4 phonemes • sprint = s – p – r – i – n – t = 6 phonemes • string = s – t – r – i – ng = 5 phonemes

  14. TRICKY WORDS • Words that are not phonically de-codeable • e.g. was, the, I • Some are ‘tricky’ to start with but will become decodeable once we have learned the harder phonemes • e.g. out, there,

  15. How you can help at home

  16. Most important thing – From a very early age… Talking and listening. Reading with and to your child Playing listening games Singing songs and rhymes Simple movement games All these things will help to build up connections in the brain, an enjoyment of language and confidence to try things out.

  17. PHONICS Correct pronunciation Correct vocabulary We all need to use the same language at home and at school. Little and often is the key. Does not have to be formal. Link it to your child’s interests.

  18. Now you have the knowledge…. • Play lots of sound and listening games with your child. • Read as much as possible to and with your child. • Encourage and praise – get them to have a ‘good guess’. • Ask your child’s teacher if you want to know more.

  19. Where can I find resources to help? • Internet games - Education City • Library – any children’s book is a good book! • Bug Club
