PHONICS
Introduction to phonics
• Phonics is the study of the relationship
between letters and the sounds they
represents.
• Phonics are essential for a child who is
learning to read and write.
• Words are like codes and phonics teaches
children how to crack reading codes.
What is phonics?
Phonics is a way of teaching children to
read quickly and skilfully. They are
taught how to:
• Recognise the sounds that each
individual letter makes (s, a, t)
• Identify the sounds that different
combinations of letters make – such
as “sh” or “oo”
• Blend these sounds together from
left to right to make a word
Phonics is all about using …
skills for
reading and
spelling
knowledge
of the
alphabet
+
Learning phonics will help child to become
a good reader and writer.
• Letter sounds till A-Z
• CVC with short vowels
• Two letters one sound: ch, sh, th
• Two letters one sound: ll, ss, ck, ee
• Initial and final adjacent consonants
• Long vowel sounds , short vowel sounds
• Different letters same sound – long vowels:
ai/ay
• vowel phonemes: ar, er, ur, or
• Different letters same sound : oy/oi, ow/ou

Getting Ready for Phonics
• tuning into sounds (auditory
discrimination)
• listening and remembering sounds
• (auditory memory and sequencing)
• talking about sounds
• (developing vocabulary and language
comprehension)
• Aspect 1: Environmental sounds
Stories – Walk around local area
• Aspect 2: Instrumental sounds
Bag of instruments – Add sound effects
• Aspect 3: Body percussion
Action songs and rhymes
• Aspect 4: Rhythm and rhyme
Rhyming stories – What rhymes with…?
• Aspect 5: Alliteration
Having fun with names – Story characters
• Aspect 6: Voice sounds
Adding different voices to stories
• Aspect 7: Oral blending and segmenting
Robot speech c-a-t and Put it together
How to teach phonics
 Gradually move on to the more
complicated ones(/ph/, /th/,/-th /, /sh/)
 Forget about the traditional approach
(the alphabet)
 When we start teaching phonics, we start
with one sound only. We start with the
most common sounds (eg. /a/, /t/, /s/, /d/,
/e/, /i/, /p/)
 When you have given them the first basic
sounds, you can start building with them the first
simple words (transparent) through simple
sound combinations. (sit, sat, tin, pin, pen, ten,
set etc.)
 Let your students create their own nonsense
(or silly) words (testint, piten, satiapata….)
and later their own nonsense (or silly)
sentences (a mat in the tub, the cat sits on
the hat……) and even short stories.
Cracking the Code
 26 letters of the alphabet
 44 sounds in the English Language (Jolly
Phonic Letter Sound British English)
 144 different ways we put letters together to
represent the sounds
Using TPR in teaching phonics
Invite pupils to:
 Touch and feel the new letter-sound
A multi-sensory method
Form it with their bodies
Sing and dance it (‘h’ can be hop’, ‘t’
is playing tennis and ‘d’ is drum.
Each sound has its own action and
song
This fun way helps the pupil learn
the sounds more easily
Reading EYFS 2014
Make Phonics fun!
• Keep them active!
• ICT
• Range or resources in school
• Use sand/ play dough
• Inside/outside
• Sing
• Use letter cards/picture cards linked
to the phonic focus
– Is this /g/ or /d/?
• Use sound talk – Get me a /r/ /e//d/
pen please.
• Say it/write it

phoneme
Phonemes are sounds that
can be heard in words

grapheme
This is how a phoneme
is written down
Phonics Words
Blending
• Children need to be able to hear the separate sounds
in a word and then blend them together to say the
whole word .
Blending
/b/ /e/ /d/ = bed
/t/ /i/ /n/ = tin
/m/ /u/ /g/= mug
Phonics Words
Segmenting
• Children need to be able to hear a whole word and
sayevery sound that they hear.
Segmenting
bed = /b/ /e/ /d/
tin= /t/ /i/ /n/
mug= /m/ /u/ /g/
Phonics Words
digraph
This means that the phoneme
comprises of two letters
e.g. ll, ff, ck, ss, ow
Phonics Words
trigraph
This means that the phoneme
comprises of three letters

Help with reading
•Dots are used to show how many
sounds in each word
•Pupils can put their finger on each
dot
… ..
More complicated sounds
 Later on start introducing the different and
more complicated vowel sounds and vowel
combinations (/ai/, /ee/, /oo/, /ow/, /i-e/, /o-
e/ etc).
 This needs lots of practice and need to
employ different approaches and Montessori
exercises for language /methods such as
games, songs colouring, matching etc
Rhyming
• We can make up silly rhymes and focus on
specific vowel sounds:
The funny clown
is in the town
Look! He can bow!
Language and Phonics Exercises
Three Period Lesson
• We can use the three period lesson to directly
teach specific vocabulary, sounds.
1. Touch object or letter and clearly make its sound.
2. Ask the child to identify objects/ letter sounds
3. Point to each sound and ask “What is this?”
• I spy (letter sounds)
Sandpaper Letters
Movable Alphabets
Some tips
 Phonics-based instruction is an ongoing
process. We don’t teach all the phonemes till
we come to the end.
 After 6-7 phonemes we do other activities and
projects giving pupils time to assimilate their
new knowledge
Why learning with phonics?
It helps learners acquire accurate
pronunciation
It helps them make associations between
spelling and pronunciation
 It helps them recognize and read patterns
(e.g., if they know how to read ‘leaf’ it will be
easier for them to read the words ‘bean’,
‘eat’, etc.)
