Foundations in Phonics

Our Phase 1 programme lays the foundations for phonics teaching and learning in Early Years and beyond by targeting and developing both phonological and phonemic awareness. The emphasis during Phase 1 is to get children attuned to the sounds around them and ready to begin developing oral blending and segmenting skills. The importance of phonological and phonemic awareness cannot be underestimated. Research has shown that children who have good phonological and phonemic awareness perform better academically than those who do not. If a child does not have experience or has a delay in their phonological or phonemic awareness, they may find phonics difficult. Letters represent sounds and if a child cannot hear what a word starts with, then they will struggle to link the letter sound to the written form moving forward. That is why Phase 1 is so crucial that Phase 1 to progress.
