Welcome and Circle time

Here is the sorting activity, which is to teach your child what they can and can't do in school at the moment. 

Phonics

Below are some videos recapping the phase 2 and 3 sounds. Make sure you look carefully at the sound and then give the correct phoneme. 

Please carry on using the online letters and sounds tool to support phonics sessions at home.

You may also want to use a phonics assessment to see what phonemes your child needs to learn. These are saved below. You can then focus on the phonemes that are specific to them.
