How to target practice at point of need slide outlines

1. How to target practice at point of need 

2. Letter–sound correspondences 

Sample resource: Literacy Hub phonics progression 

[Image: screenshot of the letter–sound correspondences for the first six phonemes taught in Phase 1 of the Literacy Hub’s phonics progression: s, /s/, a, /a/, t, /t/, p, /p/, i, /i/, n, /n/.] 

3. Oral blending 

Sample resource: Phonological and phonemic awareness lesson activities 

[Image: Screenshot of three activities resources. The first is a worksheet, Hop it! and shows three empty circles which a teacher can fill with three letters and the student can blend the sounds the letters make. The second is the worksheet, Blend it! featuring icons for the words play, sip, walk, and cut. The third activity is for Robot talk.] 

4. Written word blending 

[Image: Diagrams showing the methods for Additive blending and Continuous blending using the sample word ’sat’. The additive blending example shows an arrow indicating that the student is blending the sounds that the letters s and a make, and then the letter t sits alongside showing that the sound it makes is then added separately to the two sounds already blended, to form the word ‘sat’. The continuous blending example for the word ‘sat’ shows a straight arrow from left to right underneath the word, showing that all the sounds the letters make are blended from left to right continuously to make the word.] 

5. Word-level decoding 

Sample resource: Decodable words and sentences 

[Image: screenshot of the decodable words and decodable sentences for Phase 1 of the Literacy Hub’s phonics progression. The first column is the Phonemes and spelling rules column, and lists the Phase 1 phonemes: s, a, t, p, i, n. The second column is the Irregular words column, and lists the words: is, a, I, the. The third column is the Decodable words column, and shows examples of two-letter, three-letter and four- or more letter words, for example, an, in, it, ant, nip, pit, sip, tan, pant, snap, spin. The fourth column is the Decodable sentences column and shows 15 decodable sentences using the learned phonemes, for example: Pat is at the tap; I sat in the pit; An ant is in the pan; Tip it in the pit.]
