Parent Workshops
​
At Foxhill, we try to provide information for busy Parents to help explain key areas of the Curriculum.
Virtual Phonics Workshop
To begin with, please visit our Phonics page for an introduction to the Little Wandle scheme we use for Phonics, to teach children to read and spell.
These three videos introduce the Phase 2 and 3 phonemes (sounds) that RECEPTION CHILDREN learn and how to pronounce the 'pure sound'. The flashcards show the graphemes (how the sound is spelt).
Digraphs are sounds made by two letters. Children will learn all this vocabulary.
'Blending' is how children read. We teach them to identify the sounds in the word to 'sound out' then blend these sounds together to merge into a word.
When children spell, they are taught to do the reverse. Say the word then segment or 'chop up' into the sounds they hear.
In YEAR ONE, children grow their phonics code and start Phase 5.
They learn alternative graphemes (spellings) for the phonemes (sounds ) that they have already learnt.
This enables them to read more words and spell more accurately as their phonics knowledge grows.
