ELG Writing Write recognisable letters, most of which are correctly formed. Spell words by identifying words in them and representing the sound with a letter or letters. Write simple phrases that can be read by themselves and others. ELG Reading Say a sound for each letter in the alphabet and at least 10 different digraphs Read words consistent with their phonics knowledge by sound blending. Read aloud simple sentences and books that are consistent with their phonics knowledge, including some common exception words.
Children need to learn to read, before they can read to learn.
In Venus we - Have a 20-30 minute phonics session each day. Learn new sounds/words or consolidate those we have learnt. Sessions consist of Revise - recap sounds/words learnt so far Teach Input (teach new material) Practise skills learnt Apply via group work/games/puzzles/activities the new skills learnt. Read 1/1 twice weekly with an adult when possible Fine motor activities each morning which lead into handwriting practise every morning leading to super sentence work. Send home sounds/words of the week on a Friday. Some weeks are consolidation weeks. There are reading, writing and phonics based activities set out in the classroom each week. We do focused Literacy activities each week as well as encourage opportunities in child initiated learning. We make learning as multisensory and active as possible
Phonics Terminology Phoneme is a sound you can hear. There are approximately 44 phonemes in the English language. Phonemes are put together to make words. Grapheme a phoneme when it is written down. Graphemes can be made up of 1 letter a , 2 letters sh (digraph) or i-e (split digraph),3 letters igh (trigraph) Blending reading a word by putting the graphemes together. I see the word cat, I recognise the graphemes c-a-t and I can blend the phonemes and hear the word says cat. Segmenting the skill needed to write a word, hearing all the phonemes in a word. I want to write cat and I can segment the word and hear I need c-a-t. Sound buttons we add these to words, to help the children with segmenting to read. I will show you on the board.

Mummy There will always be exceptions to this rule. eg. tree
Phonics: How to pronounce pure sounds | Oxford Owl - YouTube Phonics: How to blend sounds to read words | Oxford Owl - YouTube Alphabet Phonics Song - YouTube We teach the children the sound each alphabet letter makes. Alongside this we teach them the name of each letter. We only segment words using their phonemes eg. c-a-t not names eg CAT
Split Digraph A digraph is two letters (two vowels or two consonants or a vowel and a consonant) which together make one sound (as in the words tail, boat, found or read). When a digraph is split by a consonant it becomes a split digraph. For example: wrote the 'oe' here make one sound. cake gate pale like tile time dome bone rope The e makes the vowel use it s letter name.
Tricky Words These are words that don t sound out. The children just need to know how to read these words. We teach these as we work through the phases. To start with children need to be able to read these words. They then learn to spell them. Level Four: Level Three: Level Two: said, so, have, like, some, come, were, there, little, one, do, when, out, what he, she, we, me, be, was, my, you, they, her, all, are the, no, to, go, into, I
