This is the smallest unit of sound in

These are the letters that
represent the phoneme.
The grapheme could be 1 letter, 2
letters or more.

words into phonemes
Teaching phonics requires a technical skill in
enunciation.
 Phonemes (sounds) should be articulated
clearly and precisely. We use Jolly phonics to
help us.

 High
Frequency Word (HFW) –
words that occur regularly in texts
that children should be able to
read. E.g. and, as, it
 Tricky words – Words that cannot
be sounded out and the children
must just ‘know’ them.


Phase 1 (Nursery and practising within
Reception) – playing with and hearing
sounds.
Phase 2 – Sounds of the alphabet letters,
introduce double letter digraphs.
Phase 3 – Introduce digraphs and
trigraphs.
Phase 4 – Practising blending.
Phase 5 – Alternative spelling patterns.
At this stage we concentrate on the phoneme
(sound) and not the letter name.

We use phoneme frames and sound buttons to help the children segment
to spell words.

Blending for reading and segmentation for
spelling of CVCC/CCVC words. E.g. Milk, tusk,
stop, flag.
Adjacent consonants (CCVCC). E.g think, crack.
Practising vowel digraphs in CVCC/CCVC words –
float, start, sweet.

Reading
30-50 months
 Enjoys rhyming and rhythmic activities.
 Shows awareness of rhyme and
alliteration.
 Recognises rhythm in spoken words.
Writing
30-50 months

Sometimes gives meaning to marks as they
draw and paint.

Ascribes meanings to marks that they see in
different places.
40-60 months
 Continues a rhyming string.
 Hears and says the initial sound in
words.
 Can segment the sounds in simple words
and blend them together and knows
which letters represent some of them.
 Links sounds to letters, naming and
sounding the letters of the alphabet.
 Begins to read words and simple
sentences.

Uses some clearly identifiable letters to
communicate meaning, representing some
sounds correctly and in sequence.
Early Learning Goal
Children read and understand simple
sentences. They use phonic knowledge to
decode regular words and read them aloud
accurately. They also read some common
irregular words. They demonstrate
understanding when talking with others about
what they have read.
Early Learning Goal
Children use their phonic knowledge to write
words in ways which match their spoken sounds.
They also write some irregular common words.
They write simple sentences which can be read
by themselves and others. Some words are
spelt correctly and others are phonetically
plausible.
Grab some post its!
Find your child
Share some activities
Write an observation
Please remember Post its need:
 Your child’s name and the date.
 Please initial it at the bottom to show who
carried out the observation.

Take some post its for you to use at home when
you make an observation.
