So what is phonics?
Phonics is a way of teaching children how to read and write. It helps children hear, identify and use different sounds that distinguish one word from another in the English language.
Words are like codes and phonics teaches children how to crack the reading code.
Phonics concerns the learning of:
• 44 phoneme sounds.
• Blending sounds into words for reading.
• Segmenting words into phonemes for spelling and writing.
• Recognising the common word spellings.
• Developing fluency, leading to future success.
Making the sounds
• B
• D
• T
• CH
• Easy to get wrong and can cause confusing when segmenting and blending.

Segmenting
• ‘Chopping up’ the word to spell it out
• Identifying the individual sounds in a spoken word (e.g. h-i-m , s-t-or-k) and writing down letters for each sound to form the word.
Blending
• Recognising the letter sounds in a written word, for example:
b-a-t-ch
and ‘blending’ them in the order in which they are written to pronounce the word ‘batch’.
