Phonics

This week, we are teaching children to listen carefully to sounds they can hear at the beginning of words.

At this stage we are focussing on listening to sounds and NOT letter shapes.

 

Make the sound: "sssssssssssss" like a snake. Ask your child to join in with you.

Then, say "ssss- sock". Ask your child to join in with you and repeat, "ssss- sock". 

Then, say "ssss- spoon". Ask your child to join in with you and repeat, "ssss- spoon".

Then, say "ssss- sun". Ask your child to join in with you and repeat, "ssss- sun".

 

 

Make the sound: "mmmmmmmm". Ask your child to join in with you.

Then, say "mmm- mouth". Ask your child to join in with you and repeat, "mmm mouth". 

Then, say "mmm- man". Ask your child to join in with you and repeat, "mmm man".

Then, say "mmm mop". Ask your child to join in with you and repeat, "mmm mop"

Challenge- If your child is enjoying this, you could go on a treasure hunt around your house, collecting objects that start with the sound 'ssssssssss' or 'mmmmmm'.
We can go outside and see what different sounds we can make with sticks! We can make loud sounds, soft sounds, long sounds and short sounds. See what different sounds you can make with your sticks and we will enjoy Rhythm Sticks on Funky Friday!

We sing lots of different nursery rhymes and songs in school.

Join in with the songs below:
