    ● What is it?
    ● Our new scheme
    ● How we teach phonics at St Marks
    ● Tips and guidance on how you can help your child at
    home.
    ● Have a go at some activities!
    Above all, reading regularly with your child is the
    most important thing!
    ● Phoneme – smallest unit of sound
    ● Grapheme – the letters used to represent a sound
    ● p l ay i ng contains five phonemes and five graphemes

    ● DECODING SQUIGGLES ON PAPER.

    ● Sounds-Write
    ● Spellings (graphemes) and sounds (phonemes)
    ● Highly structured lessons
    ● Less talk of “tricky” words and rules.
    ● Still room for creative teaching!
    ● What children need to know:
    ● How to blend (put the sounds together to read a
    word)

    ● How to segment (pull the word apart into sounds in


    order to spell a word)

    ● That one sound can be spelt in more than one way.

    ● One spelling can represent more than one sound.

    ● Teach phonics twice a day.
    ● First session (approx 20 minutes)

    Warm up with sound revision/nonsense sound swapping

    Reminder of what sound / spelling we are learning. Teaching of


    skills blend / segment / sort.
    Independent activity to reinforce learning and practice skill.

    Quick round up / reading to apply knowledge of sound.

    ● Second session: Quicker – revision based / looking at


    reading and spelling polysyllabic words.
    ● Encourage your child to always say the sounds when
    they build or write them.
    ● Avoid using letter names when spelling.
    ● When practising spellings at home, better to write them
    rather than orally spell out using letter names.
    ● Precise pronunciation i.e. not “ter” “per” “fer” etc
    ● Using gestures to help with blending:
    ● sit (continuation of sounds)
    ● grab (building bit by bit)

    ● Dealing with errors in reading:


    ● Word is “trap”, child reads “tap.” We would say “If this was “tap”,
    this (point to the ‘r’) wouldn’t be here. Can you try again?”
    ● Word is “tap” but child says “trap”. We would say “If this was
    “trap”, there would be something here (point between ‘t’ and ‘a’).
    Can you try again?”
    ● Child reads incorrect sound i.e. in word “show.” “You’re right,
    that can spell “ow”. Do you know what else it can spell? Can you
    try that?”
