In Reception phonic recall is developed in many different ways, children explore their learning through games and activities.
Phonics in Reception
Synthetic Phonics is a method of teaching reading and writing in which words are broken down into their smallest units of sound, these are known as phonemes.
Children learn to associate writen letters or groups of letters with a given sound, these we call graphemes.
Sounds are then joined or ‘blended’ together into words for reading or, conversely, whole words are broken down or ‘segmented’ into their sounds for writing.
Children in Reception will learn their sounds in the order outlined below. Level 1 is all about developing listening skills and continues to run alongside all sounds as they are taught.
We ensure our learning is multi-sensory and engaging for all learners, writing need not happen just on paper!
At Mayfield Primary School we follow the Twinkl phonics scheme, The order of sounds is outlined below:
In Term 1 we hosted a phonics meeting for parents, please find below the powerpoint which you may find useful. If you have any questions about phonics please don't hesitate to ask!

We've been having an amazing first term as Robins!
Look at our fabulous Robin paintings!

Look at our fantastic Colour Monsters!
We have also been learning about Autumn. We went on a walk around our local area to look for signs of the season!
