Reception Parent feedback from the Introduction to Phonics Workshop.
Parents and grandparents were invited to attend an, 'Introduction to Phonics' workshop. Miss Tomlinson explained what we do in school, who phonics is for, what phonics is and how we teach phonics in school. Children joined us to take part in a phonics lesson and then joined in phonics activities to demonstrate how they apply their phonic knowledge.

In Nursery children begin their phonics journey by working through the stages of phonological awareness. They work through structured activities and materials that are used to teach early phonological awareness skills, paving the way for the systematic teaching of phonics, Read Write Inc. (RWI) later on in the year. We focus on:
- general sound discrimination
- environmental sounds
- instrumental sounds
- body percussion
- rhythm and rhyme
- voice sounds
- alliteration
- finally oral blending and segmenting
After covering all these areas, most children will begin learning their set one sounds.
Nursery making a great start to phonics.
