Phonics is a systematic way to teach children to read and spell words. It enables children to blend the individual phonemes (the sound letter(s) make) and also supports their spelling to segment (break down) words orally by individual phonemes e.g. d_o_g.
At Fitzmaurice, we use LCP a scheme of work to deliver daily phonics in a multi-sensory way. LCP follows ‘Letter and Sounds’, a DFE phonics guidance.
The DFE stated in 2012:
“High quality phonics teaching gives children a solid base on which to build as they progress through school. Children who master the mechanics of reading are well-placed to go on to develop a love of reading."
Children undertake a statutory screening check at the end of Year 1. The phonics screening check is a short and simple assessment of phonic decoding. It consists of a list of 40 words, half real words and half non-words, which Year 1 children read to a teacher. Administering the assessment usually takes between four and nine minutes per child.
The check is designed to confirm whether individual pupils have learnt phonic decoding to an appropriate standard and have grasped the essential skills that underpin good reading.
There are 44+ common phonemes in the English language which are taught throughout a child’s time in the reception year and year one. The phonemes are listed in the grids below by the phases they are taught in.
