Assessment task: Support the development of reading, literacy and
mathematical skills in early years’ settings
Task 1 (assignment)
Complete an assignment showing your understanding of systematic synthetic
phonics in the teaching of reading and strategies for developing early literacy
and mathematics in the early years setting. In your assignment you must cover
the following:
Explain what is meant by ‘systematic synthetic phonics’?
An approach of teaching reading that places an emphasis on the systematic and explicit teaching of phonics—the link
between sounds and letters—is known as systematic synthetic phonics. By breaking words down into their separate
phonemes (sounds) and then combining those phonemes to make words, it teaches kids how to decipher words. The
systematic aspect relates to the controlled process of teaching phonics skills in a logical and organized way, whereas
the synthetic aspect refers to the mixing of phonemes.
Identify the benefits of using systematic synthetic phonics in the teaching of
reading for young children
a) Sound-letter correspondence: Systematic synthetic phonics gives kids a strong basis for comprehending how
sounds and letters match together. They can read accurately and decipher new words thanks to this.
b) Decoding abilities: Children who are formally taught phonics learn to dissect words into their component sounds,
which improves their capacity to decode and read words on their own.
c) Reading fluency: By giving kids the skills they need to swiftly and precisely recognize and mix sounds, systematic
synthetic phonics education aids in the development of reading fluency in kids.
d) Spelling abilities: Phonics training helps kids improve their spelling abilities. They may use this understanding to
phonetically spell words after they comprehend the link between sounds and letters.
e) Motivation and confidence: Young children get a sense of success and reading confidence when they master
phonics abilities. This satisfying experience encourages children to read with greater interest and enthusiasm.
Explain the phases of systematic synthetic phonics
Phases of systematic synthetic phonics are frequently separated to reflect the growth of phonological instruction
given to kids. Although specific programs may differ, the phases are generally broken down as follows:
a) Phase 1: Children's hearing and sound discrimination skills are developed during this period. It entails tasks like
recognizing ambient noises, differentiating between sounds, and honing your rhythm and rhyming skills.
b) Phase 2: Children start to combine individual letter sounds (phonemes) to read basic words during this phase.
They pick up how to read and write the alphabet's letters.
c) Phase 3: In Phase 3, kids learn more letter sounds, including as digraphs (two letters that indicate one sound), like
"sh" and "ch." They increase their capacity for sound blending and read words that are more complicated.
d) Phase 4: Children's understanding of blending and segmenting skills are solidified throughout this phase. They
practice reading and writing words like "blend" and "crisp," which have adjacent consonants.
e) Phase 5: Children discover different ways to spell sounds they already understand and experiment with
increasingly complicated vowel sounds. They continue to hone or improve their reading and writing skills while
learning new graphemes (letter combinations).
f) Phase 6: In this stage, children's spelling abilities are sharpened, they are taught precise spelling techniques, and
more complex reading comprehension concepts are introduced.
Explain a range of strategies for developing early literacy
a) Phonemic awareness exercises: Involve children in activities that teach them how to recognize and manipulate
specific sounds in spoken words, such as detecting the beginning or ending sound of a word or blending and
segmenting sounds.
