Phonics involves connecting the SOUNDS of spoken English to the WRITTEN representation (letters or groups of letters). These sounds are blended to construct words.
All schools have a statutory obligation to teach phonics.
Phonics is taught daily from EYFS through to KS2.
Children take a phonics screening check at the end of Y1.
At Peasmarsh we use a Systematic Synthetic Phonics (SSP) Scheme called
SOUNDS -WRITE.
Children need to be able to:
BLEND: Read words by breaking them down into units of sound.
SEGMENT: Spellwords by putting units of sound together in the correct sequence.
Have a look at the short introduction to Sounds-Write.
