Sound buttons appear everywhere in children's phonics learning, but what are they and how can they help your child with their spelling and reading?
CVC, or Consonant - Vowel - Consonant words, aren't as simple as they might first seem!
We look at the consonant and vowel sounds and how those different to what we might understand consonants and vowels to be.
Decoding in phonics is about figuring out the sounds that letters and groups of letters make, then blending them together to say the whole word out loud.
‘Oral blending’ is the spoken version of ‘blending for reading’. Learners are encouraged to orally blend phonemes (sounds) together to form a full word.
A skill taught in phonics and spelling to help children split a word up into its constituent sounds.
If children practise their segmenting alongside phonics, they'll start to spell accurately in no time!
Almost the opposite of Segmenting for Spelling!
When we're looking at how to read, we want to identify the individual sounds in a word before we bring them together to decide what the word might be.
Phonic Zoom encourages the learning of phonemes and graphemes through play and supports the development of independent reading for children in a fun and exciting way.
There are six different phases when it comes to teaching phonics. Each stage is progressive and works on top of the previous phase to gradually introduce new sounds and patterns to children who are learning.
Phonics can be a key early building block in a child's reading journey. Here we look at how they take those steps towards recognising words and consider ideas for how we might help children practise their reading.

Pure sounds in phonics are like the basic noises that letters make when we say them. For example, the letter “a” has the pure sound of “ah” and the letter “s” has a pure sound of “ssss”. These sounds help us read and say words correctly.
