Transcript Advanced phonics (Phases 5/6) and beyond Phase 6. Spelling

Phonic Phases linked to Letters
and Sounds
Working within Phase 1.
 Explores and experiments with sounds and
words
 Distinguishes between sounds in the
environment and phonemes
 Shows awareness of rhyme, rhythm and
alliteration.
 Seven aspects
 Oral segmentation and blending
This Phase paves the way for phonic work to begin.
Working within Phase 2
The point at which children embark on a programme of
phonics teaching
 Know that words are constructed of phonemes
 Know that phonemes are represented by
graphemes
 Children learn 19 grapheme-phoneme
correspondences.
 They will be taught to blend for reading and
segment for spelling.
 They will begin to read and spell CVC words.
Duration: Up to 6 weeks
Working within Phase 3
 An additional 25 GPCs are taught.
 By the end of this phase children will have
one grapheme representation of 42 of the
phonemes.
 Can read and spell CVC words using a wide
range of letters, short vowels and some
consonant digraphs
 Can read and spell a wide range of CVC
words using all letters, less frequent
consonant digraphs and long vowel
phonemes
sheep, boat
Working within Phase 4
 Can blend adjacent consonants in words
and apply this skill when reading unfamiliar
words
 Can segment adjacent consonants in words
and apply this in spelling
 Consolidation of phoneme- grapheme
knowledge. No new GPCs are introduced.
Phase 5
 Can use alternative ways of pronouncing the
graphemes.
 New graphemes are introduced.
 Can read phonically decodable two and
three syllable words.
 Can spell complex words using phonically
plausible attempts.
Phase 6
 Apply phonic skills and knowledge
 Secure less common phoneme grapheme
correspondence
 Can recognise phonic irregularities
