Phonics
On this page you will find everything you need to support your child with phonics and learning to read. Please click on the reading tab to the right for extra information you might find useful about how children learn to read.
When teaching phonics at home, stick to short bursts of 10-15 minutes and try to consolidate the learning when the children are playing, for example magnetic letters on the fridge, chalking words outside etc.
This term we will be moving on to digraphs (two letters one sound). As this can be a difficult concept for the children we will learn two digraphs per week. Please click onto the following videos ( I have tried to vary these videos). Following the video I have a added a short task although this is optional. Please feel free to use games / activities from home.

Use the sound mat from you pack and practise reading all phase 2 sounds and the phase 3 up to qu. Watch this fun blending video (twice if needed) Can you blend to read the words?
Parents choose a couple of objects from around the home which are cvc words (consonant vowel consonant) eg, pan, hat, tin. Can the children write the words on throe whiteboard?
