Phonemic Awareness

· recognising rhymes and giving a rhyming word
· segmenting words into syllables
· hearing and identifying the initial and final letter sounds and telescoping to find middle letter sounds of a word
· segmenting words orally into onset and rime eg ‘bat’ is ‘b’ and ‘at’
· blending and segmenting cv,(b-e), vc (o-n), and cvc (sh-o-p) words
· manipulate phonemes to make new words eg exchange one sound in a spoken word with a different sound to make a new word
· build word families in modelled spelling sessions eg and hand band sand
· beginning to recognise when the spelling of a word appears inaccurate
· making spelling generalisations
· using an editing code

Spelling Generalisations
Review and consolidate Year 1 rules
RULE
EXAMPLES
  • Words containing a short vowel followed by a single consonant must double the consonant before adding –ed or –ing
bat – batted – batting
shop – shopper – shopping
  • Words with a short vowel followed by one consonant must double the consonant before adding – er (link to above rule)
run – runner win – winner big – bigger
  • When a word ends in –e, drop the –e before adding –ing or –ed
love – loving – loved
dare – daring - dared
  • Some verbs do not take a past tense –ed ending, but change their form
understand all irregular verbs eg. – is/was has/have ran/run go/went write/wrote doing/did
  • When c goes in front of a, o or u, it sounds like k
cat cut cot
  • k goes in front of e and i
keg kick
  • ck is only used after a short vowel sound
sack neck brick lock duck packet tickle
  • When a word ends in l, double the l, before adding –ed, -ing or –er
travel – travelled – travelling – traveller
  • Words that end in sh, ch, s, ss, x and z form plurals by adding –es
dishes churches gasses classes boxes buzzes
  • When a word of one syllable contains two vowels, just add the ending, don’t double the final consonant
seat seating seated
spoil spoiling spoiled
  • Omit the final –e from a base word, before adding an ending that begins with a vowel
have having
crave craving
  • The sound ee on the end of a word is nearly always represented by a -y
key happy silly party monkey (except coffee, committee, tree, three etc )
