Speed sound lesson
Learn 44 sounds and matching letters Learn to blend the sounds to read words Read lots of specially written books Work along side a ‘learning partner’ building
confidence. Use their phonic skills to complete writing tasks
based on the storybooks. Children learn to spell effortlessly so they can put
their energy into composing what they write. Children learn to read effortlessly so they can put

How does it work?
In English there are 44 sounds
http://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/resources/sound-pronunciation-guide/
All words are made up of sounds
The complex English
alphabetic code!
This chart shows the most usual graphemes for the 44 sounds
Children learn a simple code first.
c-a-t ch-a-t l-igh-t c-r-a-sh
Fred
Fred helps children learn to read Fred can only talk in sounds... (Fred can only say c_a_t, he can’t say cat) We call this Fred Talk
If children understand Fred they can blend orally Blending is needed for reading
Fred fingers Fred helps children learn to spell too! Children convert words into sounds They press the sounds on to their fingers... We call this Fred Fingers
Fred spelling The children spell the words onto their
fingers.
RWI terminology
Synthetic phonics: Synthetic Phonics is a way of teaching reading. Children are taught to read letters or groups of letters by saying the sound(s) they represent – so, they are taught that the letter l sounds like ‘llllll’ when we say it. Children can then start to read words by blending the sounds together to make a word. Phonic Sound: the sound the letter makes, not the name of the letter eg ‘r’ makes the sound ‘rrrrr’ not ‘arr’ Speed Sounds: The ‘pure’ sound of the letter (without ‘uh’ on the end) Fred Talk: To say the individual sounds that make up a word in the Read Write I nc. Phonics reading programme Fred Fingers: A way f or children to physically sound out each sound in a word to support reading as well as spelling Red words: These words cannot be segmented into sounds. Children need to learn these words by sight. Green words: These words can be segmented into sounds Digraph: A digraph is 2 letters together to make one sound eg: ay, sh, Trigraph: A trigraph is a group of 3 letters that make one sound eg: air, igh Blending: To say the individual sounds that make up a word and blend them together to hear the whole word f or reading e.g. s-a-t becomes sat. We say you blend to read and segment (see below) to spell. Segmenting: To write or spell a word by listening f or the sounds in the word and deciding which letters represent those sounds. We say you blend to read and segment to spell. Decoding: To read a word by saying the sounds, then blending those sounds together to f orm the word.
