“Inspiring a love of learning”
What is phonics?• Phonics is the link between letters and the sounds they make.
• Although there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, there are 44 speech
sounds.
• Phonics makes learning to read easier, simpler and crucially gets children
reading quicker.
• This helps to increase a child's confidence and instil a love of reading from an
early age.
• Rather than memorising 1,000's of words individually, children are instead taught a phonics ‘code’.
• This code helps children work out how to read 95% of the English language.
• If you didn't learn to read using phonics it can seem very complicated, but once
the concept of words being made up of just 44 sounds is understood, children are able to make remarkably quick progress in their reading.

Phonics code breaker • Phoneme - a sound as it is said (e.g. s - ss)
• Grapheme - a sound that is written (e.g. s - ess)
• Digraph- two letters that work together to make the same
sound (e.g. ck – pick)
• Trigraph - Three letters that work together to make the same
sound (night)
• Split digraph - Two letters that work together to make the
same sound, separated by another letter (a_e – ‘a’ came)

OGPS Phonics• Letters and Sounds
• Recognise the sounds that each letter makes.
• Identify the sounds that different combinations of letters make-
such
• Segment and blend these sounds together.
c-a-t
• Children can then use this knowledge to decode new words
they see or hear.

finger, magnetic letters, I spy, letter fans.

The Phonics Screening Check
• The Phonics Screening Check is a government initiative.
• It is a check carried out nationally on all pupils in Year 1.
• If a child does not pass, they re-sit the test in Year 2.
• Range of real words and pseudo words (nonsense words).
• The test is carried out 1:1 with the class teacher.
• Takes around 15 mins per child.
Recent results:
• 2016 - 82% (national was 80%)
• 2017 - 78% (minus two new EAL pupils) 80% (national
was 81%)

How you can help your child with their phonicsMagnetic letters
Practical way to encourage children to become familiar with sounds and create words. Can be stuck on
the fridge!
Phonics flashcards
Evaluate what your child already knows. Using phonics flashcards, ask your child to identify each letter
sound. Then you can practise the letter sounds that your child finds difficult or doesn’t yet know.
Word games
Once your child is fairly confident with the letter sounds, you can try playing word games, such as ‘I
Spy’.
Books
Books from WHSmiths/pound shops on phonics. Read to your child and listen to them read.
