Week One

In this first week of Phase 1, children will learn about Aspect 1: General sound discrimination – environmental sounds. Children will learn to tune into different sounds in the environment and learn simple rhyming songs such as "The Grand Old Duke of York, and go on a listening walk.

This phase 1 phonics planning is aligned with the order of teaching in the Letters and Sounds framework, and is packed full of easy to prepare teaching input and phase 1 phonics resources to help children make progress in phonics.
