2 Phonics Share how phonics is taught at Crampton Teach the basics of phonics and some useful phonics terms Outline the different stages in phonic development Show examples of activities and resources we use to teach phonics Share resources which parents can use to support their children

3 Phonics what is it all about? skills for reading and spelling + knowledge of the alphabetic code Learning phonics will help your child to become a good reader and writer.

4 What does it look like in Crampton? Daily phonics session Fast paced approach Floppy Phonics Scheme Five main stages

5 Some common words we will use Phoneme Grapheme The phoneme is Write down the grapheme

6 Some other words we will use Digraph Trigraph The phoneme is Write down the grapheme

7 To recap Phonemes: The smallest units of sound that are found within a word Grapheme: The spelling of the sound e.g. th Diagraph: Two letters that make one sound when read Trigraphs: Three letters that make one sound when read CVC: Stands for consonant, vowel, consonant. Segmenting : Breaking up a word into its sounds. Blending : Putting the sounds together to read a word Tricky words: Words that cannot easily be decoded.

8 Stage 1 : Age 4-5 ORT books Stage 1 lilac band 1. Tuning into sounds - Environmental sounds 2. Listening and remembering sounds 3. Talking about sounds Rhythm and rhyme Speaking and listening skills

9 How can I help at home? Nursery rhymes, songs, action rhymes. Book talk. Talking about sounds: listening walks, loud/soft, high/low, Speaking & listening: silly sentences Happy Harry hops, animal sounds.

10 Stage 1+ Age 4/5 ORT books Stage 1+ : pink band w towards level 1 Series of six books 4 sounds each book s a t p I n m d g o c k ck e u r h b f ff l ll le ss

11 Saying the sounds Sounds should be articulated clearly and precisely.

12 Blending - grapheme - phoneme For reading, children are encouraged say the sounds from left to right and blend the sounds to hear the whole word. How to blend Point under each grapheme (letter or letter group) as you say the sound and run your finger under the word as you say the whole or blended word.

13 Blending /b/ /e/ /d/ = bed /t/ /i/ /n/ = tin /m/ /u/ /g/ = mug

14 How can I help at home? Oral blending: the robot game Children need to practise hearing a series of spoken sounds and merging them together to make a word. For example, you say b-u-s, and your child says bus.

15 Segmenting For spelling Your child will be encouraged to say the word slowly to identify each sound in the word (robot talk) The left hand is used to tally the individual sounds to the thumb and fingers.

16 Segmenting bed = /b/ /e/ /d/ tin= /t/ /i/ /n/ mug= /m/ /u/ /g/

17 Segmenting for spelling c a t... f i sh.. _ How many phonemes(sounds) can you hear? A dot for a sound written with one letter grapheme. A dash for a sound with a two or three letter grapheme A to indicate a split grapheme

18 Robot talk.. log duck draw the sound buttons fill
