Reception - Phonics This Week!

Image result for phonics

Hi all,

Another week has passed and we have been continuing with our phonics learning in school! Below is the list of the sounds that we have learnt this week and the corresponding actions.

'i' - as in igloo - Pretend to be a mouse by wriggling fingers at end of whiskers and squeak i, i, i
'n' - as in nan - Make a noise, as if you are a plane hold arms out and say n, n, n.
'm' - as in mum - Rub tummy as if seeing tasty food and say m, m, m.

Also this week we have begun practicing blending skills. This is the process where we sound out a word i.e 'm-a-p' and then we blend it back together again: 'map'. You can play simple games to practice this; Simon says - Simon says touch your n-o-se, speak in code, giving instructions in sounds i.e. 'go and get your c-oa-t. The more practice and repitition children have with this, the quicker they will be able to pick up the skill. 

Any questions, please come and ask. There will be the opportunity to attend a phonics workshop soon - more information to follow.
