Aims • To ensure all parents have an
overview of the teaching of phonics in school.
• To ensure consistent messages regarding the teaching of phonics.
• To update phonic subject knowledge.
The simple view of reading
• In 2006 Sir Jim Rose completed his independent review of the teaching of early reading. The review report provided clear recommendations on what constitutes 'high quality phonics work'.
• The 'simple view of reading'• The Rose Report makes a number of
recommendations for the teaching of early reading.
Successful reading demands both word level reading and the ability to comprehend what has been read.
This is formalised in “The Simple View of Reading”
Rose Recommendations
• More attention needs to be given to speaking and listening from the outset.
• High quality, systematic phonic work should be taught discretely and daily and in line with the definition of high quality phonic work as set out in the Rose report.
• Phonics should be set within a broad and rich language curriculum that takes full account of developing the four interdependent strands of language.
The Simple View of Reading
• Word-level reading and language comprehension are both necessary to reading
• Neither is sufficient on its own• This is formalised in “The Simple
View of Reading”• Reading comprehension is a product
of word recognition and language comprehension
Enunciation
• Teaching phonics requires a technical skill in enunciation.
• Phonemes should be articulated clearly and precisely.

A phoneme is the smallest unit ofsound in a word.
C-u-p c-a-t d-o-g

t ai igh
Some definitions
BlendingRecognising the letter soundsin a written word, for examplec-u-p, and merging them in the order
in which they are written to pronounce the word ‘cup’.
Some definitions
Oral blending
Hearing a series of spoken sounds and merging them together to make a spoken word – no text is used.
For example, when a teacher calls out ‘b-u-s’, the children say ‘bus’.
This skill is usually taught before blending and reading printed words.
Some definitionsSegmenting
Identifying the individual sounds in a spoken word(e.g. h-i-m) and writing down or manipulating letters for each sound to form the word ‘him’.
Some definitionsDigraphTwo letters, which make one sound
A consonant digraph contains two consonantssh ck th ll
A vowel digraph contains at least one vowelai ee ar oy
Some definitionsTrigraph
Three letters, which make one sound
igh air

High frequency words
• The majority of high frequency words are phonically regular.
• Some exceptions – for example the and was – should be directly taught.
