Why phonics?The aim is to secure essential phonic
knowledge and skills so that children progress quickly to independent reading and writing
Reading and writing are like a code, phonics is teaching the child to crack the code
Gives us the skills of blending for reading and segmenting for spelling.

Blending is recognising the letter sounds in a written word, for example c-u-p, and merging or synthesising them in the order in which they are written to pronounce the word ‘cup’

Segmenting is identifying the individual sounds in a spoken word (e.g. ‘him’ = h – i - m) and writing down letters/grapheme for each sound to form the word.

for these digraphs we say ‘when two for these digraphs we say ‘when two vowels go walking the first one does the vowels go walking the first one does the talking’, so you say the letter name to talking’, so you say the letter name to

Reading and WritingFor reading: Phonemes/sounds associated with particular graphemes/letters are pronounced in isolation and blended together.
For writing:Words are segmented into phonemes orally, and a grapheme written to represent each phoneme
![Page 9: Welcome to Ridge House Letters and Sounds Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649c895503460f94942ee1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Phase oneIn developing their phonological awareness
children will improve their ability to distinguish between sounds and to speak clearly and audibly with confidence and control.
Through speaking and listening activities, children will develop their language structures and increase their vocabulary.

Phase One outcomesExplore and experiment with sounds and
wordsListen attentivelyShow a growing awareness and appreciation
of rhyme, rhythm and alliterationSpeak clearly and audibly with confidence and
controlDistinguish between different sounds in wordsDevelop awareness of the differences
between phonemes

Phase 2To introduce grapheme-phoneme (letter-
sound) correspondences

Children know that words are constructed from phonemes and that phonemes are represented by graphemes
They have knowledge of a small selection of common consonants and vowels.
They blend them together in reading simple CVC words and segment them to support spelling.
![Page 14: Welcome to Ridge House Letters and Sounds Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649c895503460f94942ee1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Tricky wordsSome words cannot be sounded out or spelt correctly by listening for the sounds in them. These are called ‘tricky words’ and have to be learnt. Examples of tricky words: the, to, I, no, go, into, he, she, me, we.The best way of learning these are flash cards and matching games and finding words in books, magazines, comics etc.
![Page 15: Welcome to Ridge House Letters and Sounds Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649c895503460f94942ee1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
High frequency wordsThe National Literacy Strategy "Framework for Teaching" identifies an essential set of words that your child needs to learn “even to tackle very simple texts”. According to the NLS; “these words play an important part in holding together the general coherence of texts and teachers are encouraged to get their pupils to recognise them as soon as possible so they can get pace and accuracy into their reading at an early stage. Some of these words have irregular or difficult spellings and, because they often play an important grammatical part, they are hard to predict from the surrounding text.”
Below are listed the 45 high frequency words that your child will be expected to read on sight, in and out of context, by the end of their first year in school
I go come went up you day was Look are the of we this dog me Like going big she and they my see On away mum it at play no yes
For a dad can he am all Is cat get said to in

Phase 3To teach children one grapheme for each of
the 44 phonemes in order to read and spell simple regular words.
![Page 17: Welcome to Ridge House Letters and Sounds Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649c895503460f94942ee1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Phase Three outcomesChildren link sounds to letters, naming and
sounding the letters of the alphabet. They recognise letter shapes and say a sound
for each. They hear and say sounds in the order in
which they occur in the word,They read simple words by sounding out and
blending the phonemes all through the word from left to right.
They recognise common digraphs and read some high frequency words

Phase fourTo teach children to read and spell words
containing adjacent consonants.
![Page 19: Welcome to Ridge House Letters and Sounds Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649c895503460f94942ee1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Phase four outcomesChildren are able to blend and segment
adjacent consonants in words They apply this skill when reading unfamiliar
texts and in spelling
![Page 20: Welcome to Ridge House Letters and Sounds Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649c895503460f94942ee1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Phase 5Teaching children to recognise and use
alternative ways of pronouncing the graphemes and spelling the phonemes already taught.
![Page 21: Welcome to Ridge House Letters and Sounds Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649c895503460f94942ee1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Phase 5 outcomesChildren will:use alternative ways of pronouncing the
graphemes and spelling the phonemes corresponding to long vowel phonemes.
identify the constituent parts of two-syllable and three-syllable words and be able to read and spell phonically decodable two-syllable and three-syllable words.
recognise an increasing number of high frequency words automatically.
apply phonic knowledge and skills as the prime approach in reading and spelling when the words are unfamiliar and not completely decodable.

Phase 6Teaching children to develop their skill and
automaticity in reading and spelling, creating ever-increasing capacity to attend to reading for meaning.
![Page 23: Welcome to Ridge House Letters and Sounds Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649c895503460f94942ee1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Phase six outcomesChildren will:Apply their phonics skills and knowledge to recognise and spell an increasing number of complex words.Read an increasing number of high and medium frequency words independently and automatically.

SummaryA phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a
word, a phoneme may be represented by 1, 2, 3 or 4 letters e.g. t, ai, igh, eigh.
A syllable is a word or part of a word that contains one vowel sound.
A grapheme is the letter(s) representing a phoneme. It is the written representation of a sound which may consist of 1 or more letters. E.g. the phoneme ‘s’ can be represented by the grapheme s (sun), se (mouse), c (city), sc or ce (science)
![Page 25: Welcome to Ridge House Letters and Sounds Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649c895503460f94942ee1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Summary continuedDigraph is two letters which make one sound. A consonant
digraph contains two consonants e.g. sh, ck, th, ll. A vowel digraph contains at least one vowel ai, ee, ar, oy
Split digraph, is a digraph in which the two letters are not adjacent e.g. make
Trigraph, three letters, which make one sound igh, dgeOral blending-hearing a series of spoken sounds &
merging them together to make a spoken word (no text is used) e.g. when a teacher calls out ‘b-u-s’ the children say bus. This skill is usually taught before blending and reading printed words
Blending-recognising the letter sounds in a written word, e.g. c-u-p, and merging or synthesising them in the order in which they are written to pronounce the word ‘cup’
Segmenting-identifying the individual sounds in a spoken word e.g. h-i-m and writing down or manipulating letters for each sound to form the word ‘him’
