Phonics: the most straightforward part of English
It is self-contained (discrete).It is clearly structured
(systematic)It is supported by a scheme –
providing the content, progression, assessment tools and ideas.
There is a wealth of resources to help.
It is skills based.Justine Earl Canterbury Christ Church University

Phonics: what makes it seem difficult.
The new technical vocabulary.It is a skill you as a reader do not
use consciously.The current focus and emphasis
on phonics.The use of a scheme.

What matters for the childrenTheir phonic input matches their needs.The skills they learn in the discrete
phonics sessions are applied when they read and write.
There is not a linear approach to learning to read – those children still tackling decoding can also demonstrate more advanced reading skills.
Any focus on phonics is balanced by the rest of the English / literacy curriculum.

Some Key Statements to Understand
There are around 44 phonemes in the English language. Letters are symbols (graphemes), which represent the
sounds (phonemes) in words. A phoneme can be represented by a grapheme made up of one or more letters: c/a/t, k/ee/p, h/igh, th/r/ough.
A phoneme can be spelt in more than one way. So one sound can have different representations: day, great, make, paper.
Some graphemes represent more than one phoneme. So one spelling but more than one sound: bread, bead, steak.
You need to teach the skill of blending the phonemes together in a word in order to be able to decode it.
c-a-t cat. You need to teach the skill of segmenting each phoneme in
a word in order to be able to spell it. cat c-a-t.

Key phonic knowledgeA phoneme can be represented
by one or more lettersThe same phoneme can be
represented in more than one way.
The same spelling may represent more than one phoneme.
A grapheme is the representation of the phoneme – so may be more than one letter. Justine Earl Canterbury Christ
