Letters and Sounds!

Hi Mums, Dads, Nans, Grandads and Responsible Guardians out there!

I think the weather scared lots of you away from our 'Letters and Sounds Drop In' this afternoon!
Well fear not...I have homework for you!

On the right hand side of this blog there is a video clip showing how all of the letters/ blends of letters are pronounced as sounds. Please watch this, as you will note it is very different from when we went to school!
If we are all teaching the children to pronounce the letter sounds correctly it really helps them to quickly pick up reading and spelling :-) !

We teach each letter sound with 'Jolly Phonic actions and songs' I have found a YouTube clip of these so you can sing along at home!

There are also some brilliant online games to help with reading, spelling, learning 'tricky' words (words which do not sound out).

So have fun with phonics!
You know where I am if you need any more support!
