We will explore the seven areas of phonics for Key Stage One: environmental sounds, instrumental sounds, body sounds, rhythm and rhyme, alliteration, voice sounds, and oral blending and segmenting. Understanding and practising these areas can significantly improve children’s literacy abilities.
Here at Teach Phonics we split them in to two groups: 7 ‘long’ vowel sounds and 6 ‘long ‘R’ controlled’ vowel sounds. The 7 ‘Long’ Vowel Sounds: /ai,(eI)/ train, tray, cake, break. /oa,(ǝƱ)/ boat, hotel, toe, bone.
