Phonics are the essential reading instructions that teach children the systematic and predictable relationships between written letters and spoken sounds. Through phonics, pupils acquire and apply the knowledge and skills to accurately read familiar words, decode and sound out new words. \u00a0Here at Dallington School we follow a six phase course for Nursery to Year 2, from identifying sounds in words, learning to read and write 44 sounds and finally alternative spelling \u2013 different spellings that are pronounced the same way. Our teachers teach phonics through a range of fun and multi-sensory activities to help pupils remember the sounds and to combine them to make age-appropriate words. Our aim is to help them develop their confidence in reading unknown words and in writing words they have not learnt how to write, so that they can become more independent learners. Children need many opportunities to apply phonetics to functional and interesting reading and writing activities inside and outside the classroom.<\/p>\n
