Why Speed Sounds Phonics?

  • A complete speed sounds programme

A bit of technical knowledge…

  • Phonics = the sounds in our language
  • The children learn the 44 sounds and the

corresponding letters/letter groups using simple picture prompt

Speed Sounds

  • Do not use the letter names with your children at

this stage – ONLY the pure sounds

  • When the children are taught the sounds they use

the cards and a multi-sensory approach – hold up the cards again.

It would be easy if we only had to learn Set 1 and Set 2 sounds!

The English language is a complex code…

Word Time…

  • Once your child knows some letters from Set 1 they learn to blend

these sounds to read words. Sometimes the words will have dots and dashes under it to help them sometimes (like in their reading books) it will not.

  • Early on we introduce

the children to Fred…

How to help your child at home

Once the children can read the first set of Speed Sounds and can sound blend, they will start to bring home storybooks. There are instructions in every book for you to follow. DO:

  • Praise your child
  • Keep reading time relaxed, comfortable and pleasurable
  • Find a quiet place with the television turned off
  • Make it a special time together
  • Establish a routine in the day and read for 10 – 20 minutes
  • Talk about the books, covers, stories and unfamiliar words
  • Encourage the use of ‘Fred Talk’ to work out unfamiliar words

Don’t:

  • Don’t correct too often or too quickly
  • Make reading negative or pressured
  • Get worried or frustrated with slow progress

Have fun with Fred Talk

“What a tidy r-oo-m!” “Where’s your c-oa-t?” “Time for b-e-d!”

  • You can use this technique for more complex words such as

“rainbow”, “computer”, “teacher”
