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