This is when most of the letters of the alphabet are introduced. It takes about 12 weeks to work through Phase 3. If the word uses phonics that they already know, encourage them to have a go at reading it. Give them lots of praise for trying, as well as for getting it right! Praise them for having a go at reading these words, and help them if necessary. By the time your child leaves nursery or reception, they will probably know quite a lot of phonics.
They may be able to read simple words, straight forward short sentences and even a whole simple book! During year one, they build on this knowledge and become more and more skilful and fluent at reading. Phase 5 of phonics usually takes the whole of year one. This is because it includes a very large number of different sounds and letter patterns. In earlier phases, children learnt one sound for each letter pattern. By the end of year one, most children know enough phonics to be able to read the most common words in English.
Praise them if they try to tackle a tricky word using their phonics! For lots of children, their second year is the time when they really put all the phonics they know into practice, and learn to read longer and slightly more complex stories and non-fiction books.
The focus in year two is not so much on using phonics for reading, as by now many children know most of the phonics they need. A short, happy reading session is so much better than a long, difficult one! Any reading practice is good reading practice — and if your child is enjoying the book, they will want to put their skills into action. If they enjoy cooking, let them help you read the recipe.
With your help, they could do some internet research to find out more about their favourite footballer, or get tips on how to look after a pet. Science, technology, engineering, and maths are all a crucial part of the national curriculum — and if you have the right book, they can be really fun and accessible to learn. This list covers everything from simple maths to why electricity is s.

In fact, phonemic awareness is necessary for phonics instruction to be effective. Before students can use a knowledge of sound-spelling relationships to decode written words, they must understand that words whether written or spoken are made up of sounds. Phonemic awareness is the understanding that a word is made up of a series of discrete sounds.
Without this insight, phonics instruction will not make sense to students. Activities, games, and lessons that help students learn early reading, spelling, and verbal skills. Create a List. List Name Save.

The efficacy of phonics as a method of teaching has been debated for several decades, and has recently come back to the forefront of public debate.
This time, the focus is on the phonics check — a screening tool designed to identify early readers who may be in need of intervention, and provide some indication of how successful current phonics teaching methods are. This has raised some concerns. Scientific studies have repeatedly found that explicit systematic phonics instruction is the most effective way to teach children how to read. Without it, some children will end up having serious reading difficulties. But what is explicit systematic phonics?
Explicit — directly teaching children the specific associations between letters and sounds, rather than expecting them to gain this knowledge indirectly. Systematic — English has a complicated spelling system. It is important to teach letter sound mappings in a systematic way, beginning with simple letter sound rules and then moving onto more complex associations.
For example, some programs, such as Embedded Phonics, teach phonics by asking children to guess unfamiliar words using cues, such as the meaning of a word gleaned from sentence context. Other programs ask children to look at words for example, pig , page , pen all start with the same sound and learn letter-sound rules by analysing or making comparisons between those words analogy or analytical phonics.
