Phonics
We are continuing to help children to hear the initial sounds in words.
Let's play a game of 'I spy', listening for initial sounds in the names of foods.
In school, we will use a collection of real foods or photographs.
At home, you could use a selection of food from your kitchen - just make sure that the name of each food begins with a different sound.
To play 'I spy':
If your child struggles/ needs help: slowly begin to say the name of the food.
As your child hears more of the name (eg. "mmm-iii--ll"...- for milk) it should make it easier for them to identify the food.
Challenge- ask your child to give you the clue and they say, "I spy.........", and say the initial sound of the food/ giving you the clue to the word.
Our story this week is 'The Tiger who came to Tea'.

We will be talking about different parts of the story on different days, such as:
