Teaching of Phonics

 Phonics lesson – learn action, sound and how

to write grapheme

 Initial letter sounds – I spy…identify first

sound in a word.

 Sound talking cvc and vc words –Like a

robot ‘s-i-t’ – adult models first

 Reading using sound buttons under words

to encourage recognition of sounds and sounding out.

 Practise writing the letter using

paintbrushes, glitter, glue and sand.

 Joining diagraphs (ch, th, ai etc)

Tricky words

 Tricky words are words that you can’t

sound out and we simply need to remember the word!

 Reception Class need to be able to read and

recognise a set of tricky words.eg I, the, no, go, to, we, he, she, me, be, my, you, they, her, all and are.
