Phonics
What is Phonics?
Phonics is a method for teaching reading and writing.
It develops a child’s ability to hear, recognise and use the sounds within words.
Learners are also taught the correspondence between sounds and the graphemes (spelling patterns) that represent them.
Children will also be taught other skills, such as whole-word recognition (‘tricky words’), book skills and a love and enjoyment of reading.

Children will also learn to read the ‘tricky’ words which cannot be read phonetically.
Below are the Tricky Words your child will learn in Reception.
