Welcome to our‘Help Your Child to
Read’evening.
Key areas in learning to read:Phonics;
Key words;
Comprehension.
Learning letter soundsWe don’t learn in alphabetical order
Letters are learnt using their phonetic sound, not name
We must get pronunciation of letter sounds correct so words can be deciphered
Each phoneme (sound) is taught alongside an action and a song to make it more memorable.
Letter Sounds‘s’ as in
sun(not ser)
‘a’ as in ant
‘t’ as in tap
‘i’ as in ink

Segmenting and BlendingThe children can start segmenting and blending once confident with many letter sounds.
They segment – break word into separate sounds: top t o p.They blend – repeat sounds over and over quicker each time until saying word correctly:
t o p t o p top Words which are not sounded as read need to be learnt as a whole word, e.g. no, come.
Words
c = consonant v = vowel
Start deciphering vc words:
itThen cvc words:
pig
Digraphs
Digraphs are two letters that make one unit of sound e.g. ch. They are learnt once confident with the letter sounds.
When segmenting and blending, they must be read as a whole sound, not individual letter sounds:
sh not s h
Digraphs ‘ai’
as inpainsail
‘oa’ as inboatcoast
‘ie’as in pie
fried
‘ee’as inseedtree
‘or’ as inbornshort
‘ng’ as in strong

More Segmenting and Blending
Once confident, move onto more complex words.

Key wordsKey words (high frequency words) which children need to learn;
Many have irregular spellings;
There are 2 sets of key words: a reception list and a key stage one list;
First, recognising and saying word;
Then they can move onto writing the word.

ComprehensionThere is more to reading than just decoding words;
Many children read without real understanding;
In order to enjoy books, we need to understand them.
Children need to be able to hold a conversation, give opinions and
demonstrate understanding.
Pause to ask questions:Why did the character say / do this?Why is this part funny?What do you think will happen next?How do you think this character is feeling?What have we learnt from this chapter?
At the end of a book, ask for an opinion with reasons.
Encourage children to find out the meanings of unfamiliar words either by asking or, later on, using a dictionary.
Experiencing TextsFrom school:Active Reading book;Scheme book (1 or 2; changed with adult’s guidance); Library book (own choice).
Elsewhere:Home; Library;Magazines;Signs / adverts.
Sharing textsRead to the childAdult reads some, child reads the simple wordsChild reads
Reading ActivitiesBooks * read a few pages, sounding out words * discuss book * find particular words or sounds out of order * get your child to ask you questionsSound / Word cards * build words to say and write * child suggests words with particular sounds in * sentence construction * match card to word / sound in a book
