DO YOU KNOW YOUR JARGON?

What is a phoneme?

What is a grapheme?

What is a diagraph?

What is a trigraph?

What do children do when they segment and blend?

Phoneme- the smallest unit of sound in a word

Grapheme- What we write to represent a

sound/phoneme- for some phonemes this could be more than one letter.

Blending-Children need to be able to hear the separate sounds in a word and then blend them together to say the whole word.

Segmenting-Children need to be able to hear a whole word and

say every sound that they hear.

Diagraph- Two letters that make one sound.

Trigraph- Three letters that make one sound.

Phonics teaching in year 1

Everyday the children have a 20 minute phonics session which;

• follows the phonics phases outlined in the Letters and Sounds phonics planning document

• uses a review, teach, practice and apply method• this is then continued into the classroom activities within

other lessons to extend their learning into real life contexts.
