I work with a lot of Junior children who have fallen behind in their literacy through lack of phonic knowledge for one reason or another. It may be that they have suffered from 'glue' ear at a particularly important stage in their early years in school and missed out on learning phonics or they may have dyslexia which makes learning phonics harder. When we work together, either 1-1 or in a small group situation it is quite important to keep up the encouragement and I have found that a good way of showing children just how many sounds they know is to go through a piece of text and get them to circle all the letter sounds that they can say correctly. This looks encouraging and shows them how well on the way they are to mastering the 44 sounds.
