DefinitionsDefinitions
A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a word
Grapheme-Letter(s) representing a phoneme
t ai igh
Blending
Recognising the letter sounds in a word
and merging or synthesising them in the
order in which they are written to
pronounce the word “cup”.
Oral blending
Hearing a series of spoken sounds and
– merging them together to make a spoken word –no text is used.
For example, when a teacher calls out ‘b-u-s’, the children say ‘bus’
– This skill is usually taught before blending and reading printed words
Segmenting
Identifying the individual sounds in a spoken word (e.g. h-i-m) and writing down or manipulating letters for each sound to form the word “him”
DigraphTwo letters, which make one sound
A consonant digraph contains two consonantssh ck th ll
A vowel digraph contains at least one vowelai ee ar oy
Trigraph
Three letters, which make one sound
igh dge
Split digraph
A digraph in which the two letters are not
adjacent
(e.g. make)

The Year 1 Screening CheckThe Year 1 Screening Check
Every Year 1 child in the country will be taking the phonics screening check in the same week in June.
The aim of the check is to ensure that all children are able to read by the end of year two.
This ‘midpoint check’ will ensure that we have a clear understanding of what the children need to learn in year 2.
Let’s have a look!
