Sounds write guide.pdfLearning Objectives Phonics.docxWe teach phonics daily using a program called Sounds-Write. It is a comprehensive system which teaches reading, spelling and writing. There are four key concepts to teaching Sounds-Write which are:
letters are symbols that represent sounds
letters are symbols that represent sounds
sounds can be spelt using 1, 2, 3 or 4 letters.
the same sound can be spelled in different ways.
The Sound Write programme teaches children to understand how the alphabet code works and gives them the skills to write using plausible spellings for sounds.
"This is our second phonics lesson - 2021. We are learning to read and write the word mat".
