Learning Outcomes:

EYFS

ELG 09 Reading:

• They use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and read them aloud accurately

Year 1

During year 1, teachers should build on work from the Early Years Foundation Stage, making sure that pupils can sound and blend unfamiliar printed words quickly and accurately using the phonic knowledge and skills that they have already learnt. Teachers should also ensure that pupils continue to learn new grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) and revise and consolidate those learnt earlier. The understanding that the letter(s) on the page represent the sounds in spoken words should underpin pupils’ reading and spelling of all words.

Alongside this knowledge of GPCs, pupils need to develop the skill of blending the sounds into words for reading and establish the habit of applying this skill whenever they encounter new words.

Word Reading Year 1

Pupils should be taught to:

• Apply phonic knowledge and skills as the route to decode words

• Respond speedily with the correct sound to graphemes (letters or groups of letters) for all 40+ phonemes, including, where applicable, alternative sounds for graphemes

• Read accurately by blending sounds in unfamiliar words containing GPCs that have been taught
