Number of the Week

Dear Parents,

We have started our phonics lessons this week. Each week I will upload a newsletter and resources (if needed) to help you to help your child. Ask your child to recognise each sound (phoneme) and please remember no ‘er’s’ at the end of the sound. I have uploaded a video by 'Mr Thorne' who demonstrates how to say the sounds of the alphabet. Please use the pictures to sound talk the words for example t-a-p, tap. Clap each sound t-a-p then say the word, tap. Use the letters (grapheme) to build the words for the pictures. As your child becomes more confident ask them to change words into another word for example ‘sap’ into ‘tap’.

If you would like a further explanation please contact me.
