Phonics in KSSR

Activity 1
Reflection and
discussion

Let us reflect
How do you teach your level 1 pupils how
to read?
What is phonics? How much do you know
about phonics?
Have you used phonics in your level 1
classroom? How was your experience?
Why do we teach phonics to our pupils?
Which do you prefer; whole word (look
and say) approach or phonics? Why?
Do we teach our pupils phonetic symbols?

Let us reflect
Phonics help children to read by
associating English Language sounds
with the letters or the combinations of
letters that produce them.
With the strong foundation of Phonics,
it is hoped our pupils can become
independent readers.

Activity 2
List of sounds and their
suggested actions in
KSSR

Let us reflect
What is phoneme?
What is grapheme?
Why do we associate actions with
letters and sounds

Let us reflect
Phoneme is the smallest contrastive
unit in the sound system of a
language.
Grapheme is a letter of a combination
of letters to represent phonemes.

Segmenting and
blending

Let us reflect
What is blending?
What is segmenting?
Why do we teach our pupils
segmenting and blending?
What is onset and rime?
What is digraph?
What is consonant cluster?
What is magic e?

Let us reflect
Blending is putting sounds or
phonemes together to form words.
Segmenting is breaking up a word into
phonemes or sounds
The "onset" is the initial phonological
unit of any word (e.g. c in cat) and the
term "rime" refers to the string of
letters that follow, usually a vowel and
final consonants (e.g. at in cat). Not all
words have onsets.

Let us reflect
a combination of two or more letters
representing one sound, as in ph and
ey.
a consonant cluster or consonant
sequence is a group of consonants
which have no intervening vowel.
The proper name for magic e is split
digraph, and it means that a vowel
sound has been split. The silent e in
the word changes the sound of the
vowel or consonant before it.

Blending

Now lets blend sounds

into words by using
word slide. We will
practice a word family
that has a consonant
clusters, a digraph and a
magic e.

Its your turn.

Each group draws a
word slide on a piece of
display sheet and
practice word sliding
together.

Segmenting

Now lets break down

words into individual
sounds using sound
boxes.
What do you think of the
activity? How would you
adapt and adopt it?
