Oral health in our young children
Floppy’s Phonics
At St Mary’s we use a synthetic scheme called Floppy’s Phonics as our main teaching resource.
How to Pronounce Pure Sounds
Blending
- Finger-track under the graphemes of each word from left to right with the index finder of the child’s writing hand, whilst saying the sounds.
- After saying the sounds one at a time, return the index finger to under the first grapheme and run the finger under the whole word whilst saying the whole blended word.
Segmenting
- Orally segment words by saying the words slowly and each sound in the word individually (enabling the individual sounds and mouth shapes to be clearly evident) whilst tallying each sound to your thumb and fingers of your left hand.
- Draw sound dashes (writing lines) for the sounds counted on thumb and fingers during the routine above and then write the graphemes onto the dashes
