Hello everyone,
This week we began our phonics learning! This is the main method that we will use to teach children how to read and ultimately write to begin with. Each week we will cover new sounds until all of them are covered - there are 44 in total! Each week I will pop the sounds that we have been learning on to a blog so you can practice them at home, and maybe spot them out and about! With each sound we learn there is a mnemonic that goes along with it to aid memory - here is a link to all of the actions being demonstrated as well as some other phonics tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVyry9jpVjI This week we have been learning these sounds:
's' - as in snake - weave hands like a snake
'a' - as in ant - pretend ants are crawling up your arm.
't' - as in tennis - pretend you are watching a tennis match and move your head from side to side as if you are watching the ball go back and forth.
'p' - as in pig - pretend you are blowing out a candle on a cake by holding up a finger in front of your mouth and puffing out.
Each week there will be a different group of sounds and as we delve further into phonics there will be High Frequency words and tricky words!
Lastly, a quick reminder that the reception parent information session is on Monday morning! It will be in the school hall from 9.00am until roughly 9.30am. Lots of information will be shared. Look forward to seeing you there! Enjoy the weekend!
Reception team
