All Things Phonics #2 Planning
Okay
This one is for all the teachers out there, but hey if you are a parent and this is useful, feel free to make use. Just thought I'd provide some sample planning that I use in my classroom. In Year One we do Phonics on a daily basic in quick 20 minute sessions. Usually takes place after registration in the morning. We make use of our shared TA but using her for a support group of children consolidating Phase 3 sounds, while myself and the other Year One teacher work on our Phase 5 group.
Below I have share an example of Phase 3 and Phase 5 group planning for the week.

All Things Phonics #1 Introduction
Howdi
Think I am goings to do a bit of focus on Phonics. Being just qualified phonics was quite difficult to teach with very little input given at university other than a little theory. But what once was a little difficult I am now beginning to shine. Big focus being in Year One with the new reading test in Summer term, but alas it has made me see how children learn phonics and put it in to phonics.
Of the next few posts ill try to post some of the things that have helped me along the way, bit of planning and useful places to have a look. Feel free to get in touch with any suggestions!

Happy New Year!
Don't Forget Me...
As it is my first post I want to reflect on this year of teaching. Its been manic leading to completing my first two terms of NQT (Newly Qualified Teacher status). I have loved my job so much and it has been a rewarding year getting to know the children in my Year One class as well as staff members and parents. The feedback has also been special and enhances my effort to be a really awesome teacher.
Been very sad to leave this bunch of children and I hope they now go on to bigger and brighter things having a successful year in Year 2 with their new teacher.
I have decided to name my blog posts after song titles. Today's is brought to you by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
