Phonics Curriculum Workshop for Parents November 2018
Objectives To strengthen your knowledge of phonics. To provide examples of strategies used to teach phonics at Cannon Lane Primary School. To give you ideas of things you can do at home to help your child with phonics.
End of EYFS Early Learning Goal - Reading (Expected) 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.
End of EYFS Reading (Exceeding) Children can read phonically regular words of more than one syllable as well as many irregular but high frequency words. They use phonic, semantic and syntactic knowledge to understand unfamiliar vocabulary. They can describe the main events in the simple stories they have read.
End of EYFS Writing (Expected) Children use their phonic knowledge to write words in ways which match their spoken sounds. They also write some irregular common words. They write sentences which can be read by themselves and others. Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically plausible.
End of EYFS Writing (Exceeding) Children can spell phonically regular words of more than one syllable as well as many irregular but high frequency words. They use key features of narrative in their own writing.

Why do we teach phonics? Independent Review of the Teaching of Early Reading Jim Rose March 2006 Recommended synthetic phonics. Recommended a daily phonics session.
The Simple View of Reading
Reading - 5 Basic Skills (Teaching through Phonics Letters and Sounds) 1. Learning the letter sounds. 2. Letter formation. 3. Blending and segmenting. 4. Identifying sounds in words. 5. Tricky words.
Independent Writing The children need to know: The 42 letter sounds How to hear the sounds in words A way of writing the letters for the sounds What they want to say We listen for sounds, we write them down.
The Teaching Sequence Revisit & Review Teach Practice Apply Every day 20 minutes
The correct articulation of the Letter Sounds (Watch this clip so you know how to pronounce the sounds.)
Terminology Phoneme: smallest unit of sound. Grapheme: letters representing units of sounds. Digraph: consonant digraph and vowel digraph (sh,ow) Split digraph: a_e, i_e, o_e, u_e Trigraph: igh, ear CVC words: consonant, vowel, consonant (cat,mum) Tricky words: the, I, no, go, we, me, she

Blending and Segmenting Blending is recognising the letter sounds in a written word, for example c- u-p, and merging or synthesising them in the order in which they are written to pronounce the word cup. Segmenting is identifying the individual sounds in a spoken word (e.g. him = h i m) and writing down letters for each sound to form the word. We use robot arms!
