Reception - Phonics this week

Hello again,

This week in phonics we are covering the same sound three times but with different representations. This begins an added level of complexity for phonics. As well as this we will begin learning to write cursive letters. This will begin with individual letters and then build up to make words and ultimately, sentences. If you are unsure about cursive writing please come and speak to one of us. There will be lots of opportunities to practise letters over the year. Please remember that it can look quite scruffy to begin with but with practise and time the writing that children produce is very good. We will be encouraging children to write in cursive for everything we do in school.
