2 What do these words mean? You have 1 minute: Phoneme Grapheme Di-graph Tri-graph Split digraph GPC

3 Terminology how many did you get? Phoneme -sound Grapheme a way of writing the sound Di-graph 2 letters, 1 sound Tri-graph - 3 letters, 1 sound Split digraph (Phase 5) a digraph that is split by a letter GPC grapheme phoneme correspondence. Knowing a GPC means being able to match a phoneme to a grapheme and vice versa.

Tri-graph - 3 letters, 1 sound Split digraph (Phase 5) a digraph that is split

4 The basics Phonics aids reading: using decoding and blending skills Phonics aids writing: segmenting to spell There are 26 letters in the alphabet but there are 44 sounds, or phonemes- these need to be formally taught A phoneme can be represented by one or more letters e.g. sh, th, ee The same phoneme can be spelt in more than one way e.g. rain, may, lake The same spelling may represent more than one phoneme e.g. mean, deaf

taught A phoneme can be represented by one or more letters e.g. sh, th, ee The same phoneme can be spelt in more than one way e.

5 The Phases 1-6 Phase 1: phonological awareness (hearing and identifying sounds) Phase 2: 23 graphemes-s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss Phase 3: 25 graphemes-j, v, w, x, y, z, qu, sh, ch, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er Phase 4: teaches segmenting for spelling and blending for reading, words with adjacent consonants and two syllable words Phase 5: teaches alternative graphemes and phonemes Phase 6: spelling (year 2) By the end of Year 1 the national average is Phase 5 The national average for Year 2 is Phase 6

7 Phase 5: alternative graphemes (the same phoneme can be represented by different graphemes) The purpose of this phase is to broaden their knowledge of graphemes and phonemes for use in reading and spelling. New graphemes for reading: ay, ou, ie, ea, oy, ir, ue, aw, wh, ph, ew, oe, au, Split-digraphs: a_e, i_e, e_e, u_e, o_e

and phonemes for use in reading and spelling.

8 Phase 5: Split digraphs a_e, i_e, e_e, u_e, o_e A digraph in which the two letters are not adjacent e.g. make tie

9 Phase 5: Split digraphs a_e, i_e, e_e, u_e, o_e A digraph in which the two letters are not adjacent. tie time

10 Phase 5: Split digraphs a_e, i_e, e_e, u_e, o_e A digraph in which the two letters are not adjacent tie time - toe

11 Phase 5: Split digraphs a_e, i_e, e_e, u_e, o_e A digraph in which the two letters are not adjacent e.g. make - tie time - toe tone

12 Phase 5: Split digraphs a_e, i_e, e_e, u_e, o_e A digraph in which the two letters are not adjacent e.g. make - tie time - toe tone - cue

13 Phase 5: Split digraphs a_e, i_e, e_e, u_e, o_e A digraph in which the two letters are not adjacent e.g. make - tie time - toe tone - cue cube

14 Phase 5: Split digraphs a_e, i_e, e_e, u_e, o_e A digraph in which the two letters are not adjacent e.g. make - tie time - toe tone - cue cube - thee

15 Phase 5: Split digraphs a_e, i_e, e_e, u_e, o_e A digraph in which the two letters are not adjacent e.g. make - tie time - toe tone - cue cube - thee these

16 Which of these words contain a split digraph? Just because it has an e on the end doesn t make it a split digraph what sound does it make? time spike come some made have bride shine

18 Activities to support the learning of new Flashcards graphemes: Quick Copy show a word, make it as quickly as possible with whiteboards, magnetic letters, phoneme fans etc. Countdown have words on display, how many can you read in 1 minute? Sentence Substitution substitute a word in a sentence yes/no questions choosing right answers choice of 3 which 1 is correct? give children nonsense words to read/ write down shows knowledge of grapheme position make your own nonsense word spotter stories

21 Best bet. Look at trains on the wall.

22 Phase 5: Alternative phonemes or alternative pronunciations Children have already learnt the sounds (phonemes) that many graphemes make Now they will learn that sometimes the same grapheme (letter/s) can represent a different phoneme

23 Examples of alternative pronunciations (the same grapheme can represent more than one phoneme) Fin/find hot/cold cat/cent got/giant but/put (dialect) cow/blow tie/field eat/bread hat/what/acorn yes/by/very chin/school/chef out/shoulder/could/you

24 Activities to support the learning of alternative pronunciations for graphemes Word sort: sort words into sets according to the sound the grapheme is making in each word. Word sort Homographs: look the same, pronunciation is worked out by context Wind the bobbin up. The wind blewthe leaves off of the trees. She will read it to her little brother. He read about the frightening monster. You have tobow when you meet the queen. Robin Hood used a bowand arrow. NOTE: encourage chn to always use the sound they learnt first. Does it make sense? Try again with an alternative pronunciation.

25 Tricky and High Frequency Words These are taught along with the phases HF words: some are decodable however, there are some words that you just cannot sound out! Should be able to read them before expected to spell them Some previously tricky become decodable in Phase 5 e.g. like (a tricky words from Phase 4 which is now decodable) Not always the whole word that is tricky. Start with what you know and highlight which bit is tricky. Train your brain Majority of the 100 HF words are decodable by the end of Phase 5.

26 What a Load of Nonsense When you know all of the sounds you can sound out anything! jeg wint strom lun groiks

27 Nonsense Words children just decode and say what they see may be more than 1 possibility ensures children are able to decode a reliable way for teachers to assess phonetic knowledge important they know it is nonsense and doesn t have to make sense.

28 Making it Fun Phoneme Fingers how many sounds are in a word Cross the river cross the river if you have ee Trash or treasure? Or Buried treasure-sort words How many words can you read/write in a minute? Make an alien/superhero with a nonsense name!

29 The Importance of Reading at Home Research shows that a child should read at home. Reading to your child is just as important! It doesn t just have to be books... Remember reading is not just about phonics it s more than just sounding out-check comprehension and enjoy it! As well as their reading book: - Look at other materials resources on the website - Discuss stories : favourite page/character
