4 Children need to be taught phonics to access the English alphabet code. This gives them the skills to become confident readers and writers. Systematic, synthetic phonics

6 The evidence is clear that the teaching of systematic synthetic phonics is the most effective way of teaching young children to read, particularly for those at risk of having problems with reading. Unless children have learned to read, the rest of the curriculum is a secret garden to which they will never enjoy access. The Importance of Teaching : The Schools White Paper 2010 Phonics is one of the most robust and recognised ways of helping children to learn to read and write. Dame Claire Tickell 2011 There is compelling and comprehensive international evidence that systematic synthetic phonics is the best method for teaching reading. Department for Education spokesman 2011

8 Letters and Sounds Overview Phas e 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Phase 5 Phase6/SFS

9 Phonics Teaches children the alphabetic code to be able to read and write words The English language is extremely complex (opaque) so we have to teach it in a careful way that builds on what your child knows so they develop confidence

10 The alphabetic code How many letters in the alphabet? 26 How many speech sounds (phonemes) make up the English language? 44

12 No schwaing in phonics mmmmmmm not muh ssssssssssssss not suh nnnnnnnnnn not nuh

15 Before children start phonics to be able to listen to sounds around them (the environment, musical instruments, body sounds clapping etc) copy and repeat a rhythm Hear and identify words that rhyme (cat, mat, sat) hear sounds at the beginning of words orally blend and segment words in to their individual sounds

16 Oral Blending and segmenting Just objects and pictures No letters I spy.
