Another fantastic week of learning has come to an end, this week we have been particularly focusing on phonics.
We have been assessing the children’s phase 3 phonics. Across the year group we have identified gaps- particularly those trickier sounds made up of more than one letter for example URE, AIR, OA, ER etc.
We have provided each child with a pack of phase 3 sound cards. In school we have practiced some games using the sounds;
| Play teacher-
hold up the sounds and say the sound out loud. |
| Put the sounds in to a word-
guess the sound that is on the card from the word that has been said e.g chair- air sound card. |
| Read/write sounds-
place cards face down, select a card, say the sound and write the sound. Challenge- write the sound in a word then put the word in to a sentence. |
We would appreciate these games or similar being played at home to reinforce these crucial sounds.
Thank you for your support
