What is a phoneme?
A phoneme is simply a sound within a word e.g. ‘c’, ‘a’ and ‘t’ are the three phonemes in the word cat.
What is a grapheme?
A grapheme is a letter or a number of letters that represent a sound (phoneme)
What are digraphs and trigraph?
DigraphS are two letters which make one sound e.g. ‘ch’ as in children.
Trigraphs are three letters which make one sound e.g. ‘igh’ as in light.
Sounding out and blending
Children sound out the words that they see in order to blend the sounds together to read words e.g. “f-u-n, fun”.
High frequency words e.g. it, am, and.
Non-decodable, ‘tricky’ words e.g. the.
Segmenting to spell
Children segment the sounds in words to spell e.g. “shell, sh-e-ll”.
When segmenting ‘tricky’ words we spell them out using letter names.
Within the Early Years Foundation Stage children’s writing should be phonetically plausible.
