Lesson 1

• What is phonics?

• Why phonics is important?

• When is phonics usually taught?

What is phonics ?

• Phonics is a system of relationships

between letters and sounds in a

language.

• When you learn that the letter B has

the sound of /b/ and that "tion" sounds

like /shun/, you are learning phonics.

Why is phonics important?

• Learning phonics will help you to learn

to read and spell. Written language can

be compared to a code, so knowing the

sounds of letters and letter

combinations will help you to decode

words as you read.

• Knowing phonics will also help you

know which letters to use as you write

words.

Why is phonics important?

The 'simple view of reading'

The Rose Report makes a number of

recommendations for the teaching of early reading.

It makes clear that there are two dimensions to

reading – ‘word recognition’ and ‘language

comprehension’.

In 2006 Sir Jim Rose completed his independent review

of the teaching of early reading.

The independent review report, provided clear

recommendations on what constitutes 'high quality

phonics work'.

Why is phonics important?

High-quality phonics teaching secures the

crucial skills of word recognition that, once

mastered, enable you to read fluently and

automatically. Once you are a fluent

reader, you are able to concentrate on the

meaning of the text.

Why is phonics important?

The ‘simple view of reading’ shows that both

dimensions are necessary to achieve fluent

reading. However, the balance between word

recognition and language comprehension shifts

as children acquire secure and automatic

decoding skills and progress from ‘learning to

read’ to ‘reading to learn’ for purpose and

pleasure. The ultimate goal of learning to read

is comprehension.

Stages of learning phonics

• short and long vowels, consonant

digraphs, vowels combination, decoding,

making words.

• the letters and sounds.

• soft and hard sounds and short and long

sounds, all the sounds of letters and

letter combinations.

• practice reading and spelling words

containing those letters and patterns.

All children are different

• Some people need very little phonics

instruction, while others still benefit

from phonics instruction later on in

learning.

• People vary in the amount of phonics

instruction they need and when they need it.

Key concept and skills

Concept 1• Sounds (phonemes) are represented

by letters (graphemes: shapes of the

letters)

• English is an alphabetic language –

unlike Chinese, for example, where

whole words are represented by

characters.

Key concept and skills

Concept 2

• A phoneme can be represented by

one letter (grapheme) or by a group of

2 or more letters. (e.g. ‘sh’, ‘igh’,

‘eigh’)

• There are 26 alphabetical letters with

44 sounds

Letters and Sounds

Methods

1. Sound out each letter, instead of

saying the name of the letter, do not

add ‘uh’ at the end of the sound

2. Match the sounds with pictures

3. Sing ABC and phonics songs

4. Play phonics games

5. Practice, practice, practice

Class Game

Alphabetical Order

2 teams use a plastic film stick on

the board.

Spray some shaving cream.

Each member needs to take a turn

and write the alphabet in order.

Class Game

Circle time

Sit in a circle and name the

alphabet , when it is a vowel, they

need to stand up.

Start from who made a mistake.

When letter sequence is mastered,

let’s try with the sounds.

Class Game

Odd out the cards

2 teams

Each parent will need to name the

different sound in each card.
