Num. of words: 436
Industry: Education
Topic: key stage 1/ phonics
Tone: Formal/Professional
Extra notes: Hi,

I need to apply to the department of education, with my system of teaching phonics and learning how to read.

I need 436 words condensed down to 200 words max.

BUT MY TEXT STILL HAS TO MEET THEIR CRITERIA PLEASE :D

The criteria can be found here http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/pedagogy/a0010240/criteria-for-assuring-high-quality-phonic-work

--------------
Here are my 436 words:

Clever Phonics 'Phonics' books first teach the phonetic sounds. in a unique, easy to remember way.

Each Phonic in the Clever Phonics 'Phonics' books has a corresponding image that young children can easily recognise, for example, for the phonic 'a' there is a picture of a child at the dentists, the child is showing the dentist their teeth, and saying 'ah'
Next to that picture, is a close up of the child's mouth and their finger pointing into their mouth, which looks like the letter 'a' and next to that is a letter 'a'

Clever Phonics 'Phonics' books first teach the phonetic sounds.

children can then apply this phonic knowledge and skills with the help of the 'I can read' books as their first approach to reading and with the help of the flash cards to begin spelling even if a word is not completely phonically regular.

This will be the beginning of them learning to blend and segment, and ultimately learning to read.

this ensures that, as pupils move through the early stages of acquiring phonics, they will be able to read these 'I Can Read' books which are entirely decodable for them, so that they experience success and learn to rely on phonemic strategies.

The Clever Phonics flash cards can be used simultaneously to demonstrate the skills of segmenting, blending, and beginning to learn to spell, and that blending and segmenting are a reversible process.

Because the images are easily recognised by young children, the potential is there to start the Clever Phonics system at pre-school, and most definitely by the age of 5.

The Clever Phonics system can be taught in separate daily sessions, beginning with more simple phonics, and building up to more complex phonic knowledge and skills, covering the major grapheme/phoneme correspondences.

This will all ensure that children be fluent readers, with word recognition skills by the end of key stage one.

There is a ‘Tricky’ poster, which displays high frequency words that do not conform completely to grapheme/phoneme correspondence rules, to ensure that each child recognises each of these words, there is an assessment form for each child, that covers the whole phonics system.

The workbooks demonstrate that phonemes should be blended, in order, from left to right, ‘all through the word’ for reading.

The whole Clever Phonics system has been created with the children's age in mind at all time, written in a fun and engaging way and using a multi-sensory approach. Not only seeing the phonics, but engaging in singing and hands on flash cards and work books., allowing for a visual, auditory and kinaesthetic way of learning.

Here is an application that another company successfully created:

Jolly Phonics is a synthetic phonics programme. It is followed by Jolly Grammar which extends the teaching to broader based literacy skills. Jolly Phonics teaches the letter sounds at a fast pace, roughly 4-5 a week, and how, from the beginning, to blend them, in a left to right order, to read unknown words. At the same time they are taught to form the letters correctly, as well as identify the sounds in words. This enables the children to write regular words that use the letter sounds that have been taught. Regular words are provided for decoding and dictation. The tricky words are introduced after six weeks. By then these words can be blended and the correct pronunciation memorised. One way of writing (spelling) the sounds of English is covered before expecting the children to write independently or read books by themselves.

Both programmes are multi-sensory and highly active, which makes them suitable for young children. Decodable reading books, Jolly Readers, enable the children to put their phonic skills into practice and to read with confidence. Gradually alternative ways of writing the vowels are introduced. At the same time these alternative spellings are introduced progressively in the Jolly Readers.
