Please continue to read as much as possible at home. I have sent home some Phonics screening practise words cards, you can cut them up and hide them around the house, turn then over and read them, use them as flashcards, read then colour, its up to you. Encourage your child to Fred talk, (sound it out loud) or Fred in your head (sound it out in your head) then say the word. It is important that they take their time so they are accurate with their reading and when reading alien/nonsense words that they read them carefully and don’t turn them into real words. Can they use their goggles to spot the special friends, chatty friends and cluster blends (two or more consonants together, separate sounds that you squish together e.g. g-r gr)? We are getting very good at this.

Please practise these following spellings our test will be on Friday:
