Being a successful reader

Two main skills

Phonics – decoding by blending the sounds in words to read

them

Language comprehension- understand what the word

means within the context it appears

Language development and phonics working together

supports reading development.

Why teach Phonics?

Phonics - main strategy supporting word recognition

Teaches children to connect letters of the alphabet to

the sounds they make- blending them together from left

to right to make a word

Supports children in identifying those individual sounds (

phonemes) within words and segment them for spelling

Phonemes and graphemes

26 letters of alphabet

These letters and combinations of these letters make 44

sounds

Speech sounds- phonemes- the smallest units of sound

in words

Letters or groups of letters- graphemes

Phonemes can be represented by graphemes of one,

two or three letters:

t sh igh

Grapheme

One letter or one group of letters used to write one sound

e.g. The sound ‘f’ can be written with the grapheme f(fun), ff ( huff)

The sound ‘igh’ can be written with the grapheme igh ( night) or i (knife) or ie(tie)

Blending

Recognising the letter sounds in a written word, for example

c-a-t

and synthesising or blending them in the order in which they are

written to pronounce the word ‘cat’

Not cuh-a-tuh

Phonics groups

All staff in Reception have received training and from

next week the children will be placed into phonics

groups. There will be four groups:

The children are grouped according to need

Sessions happen daily

Children will be encouraged to see, say and write

letters and words, which will lead to sentence writing.

Tricky words

These are words that have to be taught through

repeated revision. The children need to learn these by

sight as they cannot be segmented/blended

A bookmark has been sent home for you to keep.

Helping your child with decoding unfamiliar words

Say each sound in the word from left to right.

Blend the sounds by pointing to each letter, i.e. /b/ in bat, or letter

group, i.e. /igh/ in sigh, as you say the sound, then run your finger under

the whole word as you say it.

Try to ensure that you enunciate the sound accurately.

Talk about the meaning if your child does not understand the word they

have read.

Work at your child’s pace.

Always be positive and give lots of praise and encouragement.
