From a very early age, children develop an awareness of the different sounds in our spoken language(s).
They learn how to use their voices: to make contact with you
to let you know what they need
to show how they are feeling
As parents and carers, you best understand your child’s communications; you are key in helping them to develop their speaking and listening skills.

Provide your child with lots of different opportunities to speak and listen with others: Preparing meals
Tidying up
Putting shopping away
Getting ready to go out
Switch off the TV, radio and mobile phones
Show you are interested in their conversation
Read stories
Use puppets and toys

Children learn a great deal from other people.
As parents and carers, you are your child’s first teachers. You have a powerful influence on your child’s early learning.

As children grow older, they will begin to understand the different sounds in languages, and join in with stories, songs, rhymes by clapping, stamping and skipping.
This is an important stage, as the ears are beginning to tune into the important sounds they can hear, and discriminate.
Over time, your child will begin to distinguish between different speech sounds (phonemes), and they will match sounds to letters (graphemes). This is called phonic knowledge.

Phase 2
This is begun in the Reception year
Children begin to formally learn the sounds in the English language
Phonics sessions are fun sessions involving lots of speaking, listening and games
During these sessions we will teach the children to form the letters
Letters and sounds is taught daily in reception through to year 2

Sound Talk
The separate sounds (phonemes) are spoken aloud, in order, all through the word, and are then merged together into the whole word.
The merging is called blending, and is a vital skill for reading.
Eg: c-a-t = cat
Children will also learn to do this the other way round. Eg: cat = c-a-t
The whole word is spoken aloud and then broken up into its sounds (phonemes) in order, through the word.
This is called segmenting, and is a vital skill for spelling.

Children will learn the phonemes (sounds) for a number of letters (graphemes)
They will also learn that some phonemes are made up of more than one letter,
eg: /ll/ as in b-e-ll
We use actions to help to remember the phonemes

Making words
Now the children will be seeing letters and words, as well as hearing them
They will be shown how to make whole words by: pushing magnetic letters together to form little words
Reading little words on the board
Breaking up words into individual sounds

Tricky words
Your child will also learn several tricky words; those that cannot be sounded out
Eg: the, to, I, go, no
These will be sent home in a small plastic wallet and new words will be added regularly. It is important that you go over the words with your child regularly. This can then be recorded in their diaries.

Phonics at home
Ask your child to find items around the house that represent particular sounds
Flashcard letters and words – how quickly can they read them?
Notice words/letters in the environment.
Lots of activities online for children to practice their phonic knowledge.
