What are phase 1 phonics?

Phase 1 are the first phase of learning that will be taught to children at nursery; this phase focuses on developing children’s speaking, listening and awareness of different sounds.  Developing these skills creates foundations for when children begin to learn their letters and sounds in later phases within school.  During this phase, your child will begin to distinguish between different sounds within their environment and may begin to show and awareness of of rhyme and alliteration.
