Top tips for home learning
• Keep it fun—build in rewards, games and activities.
• Find a quiet place to work together if the activity
requires it.
• Try and build in times tables/number practice and
phonics practice into everyday life (at the shops, in the
bath, in the car).
• Work in partnership with school—see your child’s class
teacher if you are proud of your child’s home learning
or if you have any concerns or questions.

Reading, Phonics and Key
Word Practice
• Encourage your child to read EVERY DAY. This makes a huge
difference to their learning and progress. Children need to learn
to read BEFORE they can read to learn. Reading underpins all
aspects of learning.
• Use the Home Learning Diary to record when your child has read
at home
• If you find a book is too easy or too difficult, see your child’s class
teacher.
• Children can earn rewards for 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 nights
reading! (See certificates at the back of the diary).
• Home Learning Phonics Books
• Key Words sheets are checked every other week and your child
will get the next sheet when they can confidently read the words
by sight.

Phonics, reading and
handwriting…
Your questions

Children need to learn to read
before they can read to learn.
If we do not teach children to
read, we deny them the ability
to learn.

2 aspects to reading…
Word recognition
and
Language comprehension
![Page 12: Phonics, Handwriting and Assessment in the Early · PDF filePhonics, Handwriting and Assessment in the Early Years . ... collected in an exercise book . ... phonics practice into everyday](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021509/5a9ee78b7f8b9a8e178c0d68/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Once a child can work out the
words (decode) he/she can then
begin to sort out the message
(comprehend).
If he/she can’t decode the words,
he/she can’t begin to understand.
![Page 13: Phonics, Handwriting and Assessment in the Early · PDF filePhonics, Handwriting and Assessment in the Early Years . ... collected in an exercise book . ... phonics practice into everyday](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021509/5a9ee78b7f8b9a8e178c0d68/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
That’s where phonics comes
in…
• 26 letters, or ‘graphemes’ in
the English language
• 44 sounds, or ‘phonemes’
• Sometimes, 2 or 3
graphemes work together to
make a phoneme (e.g. ch, sh,
igh)
![Page 14: Phonics, Handwriting and Assessment in the Early · PDF filePhonics, Handwriting and Assessment in the Early Years . ... collected in an exercise book . ... phonics practice into everyday](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021509/5a9ee78b7f8b9a8e178c0d68/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Some phonemes are ‘bouncy’ and some are
‘stretchy’ Bouncy sounds e.g. ‘a’ ‘d’ ‘h’ a-a-apple, d-d-dinosaur, h-h-horse Stretchy sounds e.g. mmmm, fffff, sssss (not ‘muh’ ‘fuh’ ‘suh’) mmmmonkey, ssssnake, ffffish
![Page 15: Phonics, Handwriting and Assessment in the Early · PDF filePhonics, Handwriting and Assessment in the Early Years . ... collected in an exercise book . ... phonics practice into everyday](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021509/5a9ee78b7f8b9a8e178c0d68/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The order we teach phonemes
Single letter phonemes: m a s d t i n p g o c k u b f e l
h r j v w x y z
Digraphs and trigraphs (when 2 or 3 letters together
make one sound):
qu (queen) ay (say) ar (car)
sh (ship) ee (meet) or (fork)
ng (ring) igh (night) air (chair)
ch (church) ow (show) ir (girl)
th (that) oo (book) ou (shout)
th (thunder) oo (food) oy (boy)
nk (think)
Note: ‘oo’ has a short and long sound, depending on the word (book/food)
‘th’ can sound different, depending on the word (that/thunder)
![Page 16: Phonics, Handwriting and Assessment in the Early · PDF filePhonics, Handwriting and Assessment in the Early Years . ... collected in an exercise book . ... phonics practice into everyday](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021509/5a9ee78b7f8b9a8e178c0d68/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Once the children securely recognise these
phonemes in words and can use them in their
writing, we teach alternative ways of spelling the
same phoneme:
• ‘ay’ ‘ai’ - make the same sound but are written in
both ways, depending on the word (.e.g say/rain)
• ‘oy’ ‘oi’ – (e.g. boy/coin)
Sometimes, phonemes use different letters:
• ‘ow’ can sound differently, depending on the
word (e.g. show/cow)
As children become more familiar with language
and reading, they learn to visually recognise these
differences.

How to use phonics to
support spelling at home Play word building games…. •Magnetic letters on the fridge •Fish and spell games at bath time •Spelling in sand, shaving foam, paint etc. •Use websites like BBC •Forget what you have learnt – child becomes the teacher! •Puppets •Snap cards •Reading races •Use the sound actions

Handwriting at Stanbridge
•High expectations for learning and presentation •Children need to learn to recognise a range of printed and hand written scripts •Consistency across year groups •Starts from an early age •Differentiated to match learners needs
‘The school encourages joined handwriting, but teachers use their professional judgement when teaching and encouraging children to join their cursive letters. They will consider specific learning needs and adapt their teaching where necessary. ‘
Spelling & Handwriting Policy
‘Spelling and handwriting is taught, practised and valued throughout the school. We consider that being able to spell correctly and write legibly are essential life skills that society demands.’
