Welcome Phonics Impact Workshop 2014 Heavers Farm Literacy Policy AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: • to help them become confident, independent readers, through an appropriate focus on word, sentence and textlevel knowledge; • to develop enthusiastic and reflective readers, through contact with challenging and substantial texts; Today we are going to focus on phonics. What is phonics? Phonics is recommended as the first strategy that children should be taught in helping them learn to read. It runs alongside other teaching methods such as Guided Reading and Shared Reading to help children develop all the other vital reading skills and hopefully give them a real love of reading. Statement from ‘phonics play’ At Heavers Farm we use the Letters and Sounds framework. Supplemented by a range of other resource providers. • Single sounds • Blending • Tricky words • Digraphs • Trigraphs • Split digraph • Segmenting • Single sounds • Blending • Segmenting • Single sounds • Blending • Segmenting Lets have a go at reading some CVC, CVCC and CCVC words • Tricky words Lets have a go at reading some tricky words • Digraphs • Blending • Segmenting • Digraphs • Blending • Segmenting Lets have a go at reading some digraphs • Digraphs • Blending • Segmenting • Trigraphs • Blending • Segmenting • Trigraphs • Blending • Segmenting Lets have a go at reading some trigraphs • Split digraph Mr Thorne and the a-e Split Digraph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1xqLjHF53A Lets have a go at reading some split digraphs • Phase 6 – Letters and Sounds Summary By the beginning of Phase Six, children should know most of the common grapheme– phoneme correspondences. They should be able to read hundreds of words, doing this in three ways: ■ reading the words automatically if they are very familiar; ■ decoding them quickly and silently because their sounding and blending routine is now well established; ■ decoding them aloud. Children’s spelling should be phonemically accurate, although it may still be a little unconventional at times. Spelling usually lags behind reading, as it is harder. During this phase, children become fluent readers and increasingly accurate spellers • Phase 6 – Letters and Sounds • Plurals • Past tense • Prefixes and Suffixes • Spelling patterns • Phase 6 – Letters and Sounds • Plurals • Phase 6 – Letters and Sounds • Past tense Rule 1: If a vowel is followed by two consonants, just add -ed. Rule 2: If you have a v-c-e pattern, drop the silent e and add -ed. • Phase 6 – Letters and Sounds • Past tense Rule 3: If a vowel is followed by one consonant, you must double the last consonant letter and add -ed. • Phase 6 – Letters and Sounds • Prefixes and Suffixes Rule 1: If a vowel is followed by two consonants, just add -ing. Rule 2: If you have a v-c-e pattern, drop the silent e and add -ing. • Phase 6 – Letters and Sounds • Suffixes Rule 3: If a vowel is followed by one consonant, you must double the last consonant letter and add -ing. • Phase 6 – Letters and Sounds • Spelling patterns ed and ing are spelling patterns. Making words plural by adding s or es are Adding prefixes, suffixes such as spelling patterns. There are a huge range of words and rules for children to learn to help them read and write. It is important to let children learn and develop these skills at their own pace! However a gentle helping hand is always a good idea. Here are some tips and websites to help you help your child with phonics. • Useful tips • The single most important thing you can do to help your child develop their phonic skills is PRACTICE Read with your child every day, even if it is just for 10 minutes. • Talk about the content. Ask questions. Does your child understand what they are reading? • When helping your child to write, help them to sound out the individual sounds in each word. Draw sound buttons to help guide them if they need extra support. Be patient, you may have to do the same thing several times before they grasp the skill or remember the correct spelling.
