PHONICS READERS PROGRAMME

Phase 1 Phonics

– Learning letter sound and name (Phonemes)
The Three Period Lesson:

  • Naming
  • Recognition
  • Remembering
Phase 2

– Oral blending and segmenting
vowel-consonant (VC) and consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words, and to spell them out.

  • – Learn some high frequency ‘tricky words’ eg. ‘the’.
  • – Spell, read and write CVC words.
  • – Reading Single Syllable Words
Phase 3

– Graphemes

Introduces children to the remaining, more difficult and/or less commonly used phonemes,mainly
made up of two letters eg. /ch/, /ar/, /ow /ee/etc. They will learn to say the sound made by most,
or all, Phase 2 and 3 graphemes, blend and read CVC words made from these graphemes, read
new tricky words and write letters correctly.

Phase 4

– Blending,reading,spelling

  • * Practise reading and spelling CVCC words (eg. ’bump’etc),ccvc,ccvcc,cccvc,cccvcc
  • * Practise reading and spelling high frequency words
  • * Practise reading and writing sentences
  • * Learn more tricky words eg. ‘little’

Children should now be blending confidently to work out new words. They should be starting to be able to read words straight off, rather than having to sound them out. They should also be able to write every letter, mostly correctly.

Phase 5

– Digraphs

Introducition of alternative spellings for sounds, like ‘igh’. ‘Children master these in reading first,
and as their fluency develops, we begin to see them using them correctly in spelling.’
Children learn new graphemes (different ways of spelling each sound) and alternative pronunciations for these: for example, learning that the grapheme ‘ow’ makes a different sound in ‘flow’ and
‘bow’.
The children will learn these:

  • * blending silently.
  • * They will learn about split digraphs (the ‘magic e’) such as the a-e
  • * They’ll start to choose the right graphemes when spelling, and will learn more tricky words,
    including ‘people,‘ ’water’ and ‘friend’. They also learn one new phoneme: /zh/, as in ‘treasure.’

The children should be able to:

• Say the sound for any grapheme they are shown
• Write the common graphemes for any given sound (e.g. ‘e,‘ ’ee,‘ ’ie,‘ ’ea’)
• Use their phonics knowledge to read and spell unfamiliar words of up to three syllables
• Read all of the 100 high frequency words, and be able to spell most of them
• Form letters correctly

Phase 6

– Fluent reading
Lessons aim at children becoming fluent readers and accurate spellers.
By Phase 6, children should be able to read hundreds of words using one of three strategies:

  • • Reading them automatically
  • • Decoding them quickly and silently
  • • Decoding them aloud

Children should now be spelling most words accurately (this is known as ‘encoding’). They
will also learn, among other things:

  • • Prefixes and suffixes, e.g. ‘in-’ and ‘-ed’
  • • The past tense
  • • Memory strategies for high frequency or topic words
  • • Proof-reading
  • • How to use a dictionary
  • • Where to put the apostrophe in words like ‘I’m’
  • • Spelling rules
