WelcomePhonics workshop for the
Foundation Stage
What will we cover?O A brief overview for phonics
O Phonics within the Foundation Stage
O Activities – an opportunity to experience how your child learns and ideas for home.
PhonicsO Phonics is the main approach to
helping children with unknown words.O Children need to use letter sounds
(not letter names) to decode words.

The smallest unit of sound is called a phoneme. There are 44 phonemes in spoken English.

Phoneme - The smallest unit of sound. There are 44 phonemes in English. Phonemes can be put together to make words. Grapheme - A way of writing down a phoneme. Graphemes can be made up from 1 letter e.g. p, 2 letters e.g. sh, 3 letters e.g. tch or 4 letters e.g ough. Digraph - A grapheme containing two letters that makes just one sound (phoneme). Trigraph - A grapheme containing three letters that makes just one sound (phoneme).

Phonics in Foundation Stage
O The children are taught using LCP Phonics scheme of work that follows the Primary National Strategy Letters and Sounds.
O Letters and Sounds is broken up into phases 1-6
O In the Foundation Stage and KS1 phonics is taught every day for 20 minutes 4 days a week.
O Children start from phase 2 as phase 1 runs continuously throughout the Foundation Stage.
Phase 2O Set 1 - s a t p O Set 2 - i n m d O Set 3 - g o c k O Set 4 - ck e u r O Set 5 - h b f ff l ll s ss
Phase 3 O Phase 3 continues in the same way as
Phase 2 and introduces new phonemes. By the end of Phase 3 the children will know one way of writing down each of the 44 phonemes.

Phase 4 O The main challenge in this phase is to
help children to blend and segment words with adjacent consonants e.g. truck, help. These adjacent consonant phonemes can both be heard when you say the word which makes them different from a digraph where there are two letters that make just one sound.

Oral blendingO This involves hearing phonemes and
being able to merge them together to make a word. h - a - t hat

Activity: Oral blendingOn the yellow sheet in your pack there are a list of words, in the first column shows the phonemes within the word,
sound talk them and then say the word.
Blending to readO This involves looking at a written
word, looking at each grapheme and to work out which phoneme each grapheme represents and then merging these phonemes together to make a word. This is the basis of reading.

Sound buttonsO Sounds buttons are used under each
grapheme to help the identify sounds.

1st table – real words to try and blend
2nd – nonsense/alien words
Oral SegmentingO This is the act hearing a whole word
and then splitting it up into the phonemes that make it. Children need to develop this skill before they will be able to segment words to spell them.
Activity: how many phonemes (sounds) are in these words?
SegmentingO This involves hearing a word,
splitting it up into the phonemes that make it.
O Then writing those graphemes down in the right order
O Basis of spelling

phoneme frame?

Tricky wordsO However, some words just don’t
‘sound out’.....these are called ‘Tricky Words’
How to help your childO Phonics will only work in an environment where
Speaking and Listening Skills are promoted and developed. Children should also be regularly exposed to a wide range of quality texts. They should be regularly read aloud to.
O Read regularly every opportunity not just your child’s books
O Nonsense/alien words – make your own words up using 44 phoemes
O Activities and games O Reading record – list of phonemes and phase
children are working on in school.O Websites
