AN INTERACTIVE
PHONICS GUIDE
Welcome
Today, children in schools up and down the country are taught to read using phonics. Phonics is a tried and tested method of learning to read where learners link letters (graphemes) to corresponding sounds (phonemes) and combine them to produce words. Sound confusing? It can be!

Working in partnership with Carter's Yard Phonics, this weekly guide is for parents and carers who wish to support their children with phonics at home. Consisting of daily 20 minute sessions, each day will introduce a new grapheme and phoneme with supportive materials to help support you and your child.

"Working with Carter's Yard Phonics has allowed us to enhance our delivery as part of our Premier League Primary Stars programme. The cards have supported coaches' interventions with the children & have been a real hit with teachers & parents/carers. In addition to the cards, these weekly guides have been a great way to continue to support our schools and introduce people to the work of QPR in the Community Trust."

Using this guide
During each session, you will notice a 'zap code' that appears on the 'Today's new sound...' page. This 'zap code' is an interactive code that can be brought to life using the free to download Zappar app.
When scanned, the page in the book will be brought to life with an interactive menu that will help you and your child with the pronunciation of the new phoneme and with blending sounds together to form a word.

Before we begin
Learning to read is tricky and supporting the process at home is a great way to speed up the journey of getting children to read whatever they like! The sections below offer guidance and support about how to move through this booklet.
Is your child ready?
Before you embark on the process of learning to read together, it is vitally important to note that every child learns to read at a different pace.

Every child's starting point begins with them learning to develop their speaking and listening skills - known as Phase 1 of Phonics. Phase 1 is divided up into 7 aspects and largely focuses on children being able to listen to the sounds around them, separate the sounds and copy them. Before proceeding through this booklet, we thoroughly recommend you take time to familiarise yourself with this phase.
Make it fun!
Use your child's interests to keep each 20 minute session fun! Sing songs, create silly rhymes, use instruments and the world around you to bring learning to life!
