Cannon Lane Primary School Phonics Learning Hub Parent Workshop Thursday 23 rd November
OBJECTIVES To build knowledge of phonics and how to help at home To provide examples of strategies used to teach phonics at Cannon Lane Primary School To consider greater implications for phonics across the years
PHONICS AT CANNON LANE We follow the Letters and Sounds approach as outlined in Letters and Sounds Daily phonics sessions start in Reception and continue until the end of Year 2 Children in KS2 who require additional support with learning phonics receive this according to their individual needs
EARLY LEARNING GOAL At the end of Reception 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. 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.
NATIONAL CURRICULUM - KEY STAGE 1 INTERIM FRAMEWORK Reading Read accurately most words of two or more syllables Read most words containing common suffixes Read most common exception words Read words accurately and fluently without overt sounding and blending Sound out most unfamiliar words accurately, without undue hesitation Answer questions and make some inferences about a text
NATIONAL CURRICULUM - KEY STAGE 1 INTERIM FRAMEWORK Writing Segmenting spoken words into phonemes and representing these by graphemes, spelling many correctly Spelling many common exception words Spelling some words with contracted forms Adding suffixes to spell some words correctly in their writing e.g. ment, ness, ful, less, ly
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
Word recognition processes Simple view of reading + Good language comprehension, poor word recognition Good language comprehension, good word recognition - + Poor language comprehension, poor word recognition Poor language comprehension, good word recognition - Language comprehension processes
MODEL FOR DAILY DISCRETE TEACHING OF PHONIC SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE REVISIT AND REVIEW Recently and previously learned grapheme-phoneme correspondences, or blending and segmenting skills as appropriate TEACH New grapheme-phoneme correspondences; skills of blending and segmenting PRACTISE New grapheme-phoneme correspondences; skills of blending and segmenting APPLY New knowledge and skills while reading/writing
ARTICULATION Phonemes should be articulated clearly and precisely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsydczsoqxa

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.

How to help at home Daily reading Questions: why? how do you know? tell me more Bed time stories Model reading Puzzles Crosswords; word search; cloze procedures Libraries Websites: Phonicsplay Literacy Trust Busythings BBC Schools
LOVE OF READING Parents and the home environment are essential to the early teaching of reading and fostering a love of reading; children are more likely to continue to be readers in homes where books and reading are valued (Clark and Rumbold, 2006)
