Hello everybody.

Phonics Time

This week, during phonics time, the children in Reception are learning to name the pictures linked to the letter sounds. This will help them to remember letter sounds in the future.   Parents: Look at the pictures below with your child. Say the picture names and ask your child to repeat after you.

Now, let's practice writing the following letters - remember to use the rhymes to help you.

m - Maisie, mountain, mountain 

a - around the apple, down the leaf

s - slither down the snake

d - around his bottom, up his tall neck, down to his feet

t - down the tower, across the tower

i - down his body, dot for the head

Fred talk

 This is Fred 

He can only talks in sounds for example, he says c-a-t not cat. We call this 'Fred talk.'  

 Parents: Fred talk the following words and encourage your child to blend them back to you. If your child needs support, blend the word and ask them to repeat after you.

Dog, pot, jug, mop, log, jam, sit, fat

Fantastic phonics everyone.
