Phonics and Early
Reading Workshop
Phonics and Early Reading
• Follow the Bug Club Scheme in Foundation
– continuing through to KS1.
• Learn and introduce new sounds in-line
with the scheme to practise at home.
• Practise naming the individual sounds and
knowing the sounds they make.
• Apply the sounds knowledge to reading and
making words.
Bug Club
• Introduces new sounds starting with s, a, t and p.
• Learn the names and the sounds the letters make.
• Practise blending these letters to make words.
• Practise using these letters to make words.
• Practise letter formation (small and capital).
Bug Club
• As the scheme continues more sounds are
introduced.
• There is time to revise the skills using
previously learnt sounds.
• We continue to practise recognising,
reading, word building and letter formation
with new sounds.
Examples from bug club:
Naming the letters
• The alphabet song is sang at the
start and end of each session.
• This helps children to learn the
names of the letters.
• This also helps children to find the
letters with ease for word building.
At home please focus on
the sounds the letters
make and NOT the name.
This is essential for
blending words.

Learning the sounds
• All children are assessed on phonics
and reading at the start of term.
• Sets of sounds are sent home for
practise at home.
• Progress will be regularly assessed
and the sounds cards will be updated.

Saying the sounds……
Strategies for learning
initial sounds…
- Visual recognition
• Practise through reading word cards
• Pointing out sounds in day to day life,
e.g. signs, books, magazines, game
instructions.
• Games such as snap and pairs.
Strategies for learning
initial sounds...
• Learning through actions: Jolly
phonics actions.
Once your child is secure
with most sounds we will
introduce word cards
and reading books.
Colour-coded word cards
• Word cards will be sent home to practise
in sets.
• Many of the words will be phonetic.
• These words will introduced in-line with
the sounds covered in the Phonic Bug
Scheme.
• We will also send home tricky (sight)
words.
Colour-coded word cards
• The initial words will be simple words for sounding
out
E.g
at it
get
• Sounds (phonemes) explored will be highlighted in
red.
E.g feet down chop
• Tricky (sight) words will be blue.
E.g go I no
Tricky words (non phonic)
• Some words are impossible for
children to sound out.
• These are learnt through visual
recognition.
• Strategies such as playing snap,
pairs, reading signs and words in day
to day life will help.
Reading books
• Initially picture books will be sent
home for using picture clues to tell
stories.
• Books with words will be sent home.
• Books will be changed at least twice a
week in-line with KS1.
Reading books
• We will assess your child’s reading on a
regular basis.
• Each stage on the reading scheme as a set
of National Curriculum levelled books for
levelling.
• Children can be moved up a level where
necessary. No need to read every book!
Reading books
• We encourage children to read a range of
different library books at home for
variation including poems, non-fiction and
comics.
• It is also beneficial to read a range of
books to your children to immerse them in
different language and vocabulary.
• This all helps for imaginative play creative
and varied writing later in the school.
Other forms of reading /
phonics in school
• Children will read their reading book regularly to
an adult.
• Children will partake in word building work to
follow up phonics sessions either writing or using
magnetic letters.
• We will introduce guided reading using phonics
books.
• Books and comics will be available for independent
reading.
• A range of interactive phonics based games will be
used.
All children will learn at
different rates and we
will meet them at their
point of need.
Thank you for coming.
