Phonics
In class 2 our phonics sessions run daily straight 48ter Coll4btive Worship at 9:27 am. We teach phonics using Read Write inc which is a fantastic synthetic phonics programme that teaches children how to read and write as they learn the 6 phases of phonics. Children are split into groups for Phonics and are taught based on their knowledge and not their age. This ensures that all children are accessing phonics at the corr4bt level.
Read Write Inc sounds are split into 3 sets. The children work through each of these sets, learning the sounds until they are s4bure enough to move on.
Set 1 Set 2 Set 3
The children learn sounds one at a time. They are shown how to pronounce them corr4btly and proper letter formation. They will then start to use these sounds in their reading and writing. As they b4bome more s4bure with the sounds they will investigate sounds that can me made in more than one way.
Phonics Screening Test
At the end of Year 1 children will take part in a phonics screening test. The aim of this is to ensure that children are able to apply their reading skills to read 'alien' and real words.
To support children with their reading and writing skills and to prepare for the Phonics Screening Test we teach a daily phonic lesson. Each session the children will revise sounds they have already learnt, learn a new sound which they are then given opportunities to apply the sounds and consolidate their learning. Each lesson they will be exposed to real and alien words to read containing the sound they are learning in preparation for the Phonic Screening Ch4bk.
Below are w58sites the children can access that have games and activities linked to each phonic phase and the sounds found within them. Have fun!
