What is reading?

The gallimaufry is multitudinously

gargantuan, puissantly capacious and

ineffably Junoesque and in consequence

of such protean tribulations and in such

psychotic contravention of stereotypical

consuetudinary hygiene, there exists the

infinitesimal exiguity of a satisfactory

resolution to this cataclysmic dilemma.

How to support comprehension• Sharing picture books,

talking about the pictures, what’s happening, why the characters are doing what they’re doing

• Ask open-ended questions – ‘I wonder why…?’ ‘What would you do if…?’ ‘How might this story end?’

• Make connections: ‘This reminds me of that other book… because…’, or ‘we do that sometimes don’t we?’

• Make sharing books a fun, relaxed time.

What is phonics?• Written language is a code…

Phonics unlocks the code

• ‘decoding’ means being

able to make sense of the

marks (the writing) on the

page

• In the English language there are 44

different sounds (‘phonemes’) represented

by 26 letters of the alphabet (‘graphemes’)

Page 6: Meeting for parents and carers Reception & Y1 2019 · an introduction to phonics Meeting for parents and carers Reception & Y1 2019. Today we will look at: •Reading, understanding

• Some sounds are represented by single

letters (s,a,t,p,i,n...)

• Some sounds are represented by 2 letters

(sh, ch, th, ng, ck, ay, ee...) or by 3 letters

(igh, ear, air, ure)

Page 7: Meeting for parents and carers Reception & Y1 2019 · an introduction to phonics Meeting for parents and carers Reception & Y1 2019. Today we will look at: •Reading, understanding

What happens in Reception?• We teach phonics every

day for 15-20 minutes,

following the ‘Letters and

Sounds’ programme

• We introduce a new sound

about 4 times a week

• We practise ‘blending’ the

sounds together to read

words…

• …and ‘segmenting’ the

words into their separate

sounds to write them

What happens in a

phonics session?

• We revisit what we already know

• We teach something new

• We practise reading or spelling words with the

new letter

• We learn ‘tricky words’

And then at other points in the day…

• We apply our new knowledge to read or write

more independently (as in guided reading)

What are we aiming for?In reading...

• use phonics to help

decode regular words

and read them out loud

• can read some ‘tricky’

common words

• can read and understand

simple sentences

• can share feelings and

ideas about what they’ve

read with others

In writing...

• can form lower case

letters correctly

• can write some

common irregular words

(e.g. the, to, go)

• can write words that are

‘phonetically correct’

(e.g. ‘nyoot’ for newt)

• can independently

write simple sentences

others can read

Reading book❑Look at the covers and read the

title and blurb

❑Go through the pictures first

and discuss.

❑Ask child to find where to start

reading – which page on a

spread is read first? Where is

the first word?

❑Count the words

❑Say the sounds in each word and blend together

❑Praise effort!

❑Put a note in the reading record to tell us if they enjoyed

the book, struggled – what was hard? What sort of books are

they enjoying?

Rhyme book

❑ being able to hear and enjoy rhymes is

closely linked to reading success later on in

school

❑ new nursery rhyme most weeks; big class

version kept too

❑Once children know rhymes off by heart,

they can ‘read’ them by pointing to the first

words and running their fingers along below

the text

❑encourage one-to-one pointing at words

When? Where?• We change reading books, check reading

records and add rhymes ONCE A WEEK

• Please bring these things in on your child’s

reading day

• Try to do something each day – need only be 5

– 10 minutes. Mornings work well.

• If your child is really reluctant, please come and

talk to your child’s teacher.

• Keep it fun and remember to praise effort and

new learning.
