New Learning

No new sounds are introduced today.

Spend some time with your child practising the sounds learnt so far and their matching actions. You may want to set your child some fun challenges, using the flashcards.

For example:

How many of the sounds can you read in one minute?

How quickly can you read all the sounds?

Can you beat your time?

Blend to Read

Remind your child how we blend to read a word:

Say the sounds.

Blend the sounds.

Read the word.

Write the word ‘ram’ onto the whiteboard and show your child how to blend to read it.

Write the following words onto the whiteboard one at a time and support your child as they blend to read them: ram, can, mill, hit.

Split to Spell

Tell your child they will be splitting words into sounds. Say the word ‘tan’. What sounds can the child hear? Count the sounds together: t-a-n. There are three sounds.

Draw three sound boxes on the whiteboard: ◻◻◻

Put a counter underneath each of the boxes. Say the sound ‘t’ and push the counter into the first box. Say the sound ‘a’ and push the second counter into the box. Say the sound ‘n’ and push the third counter into the box. Run your finger beneath the boxes and say, ‘tan’.

Support your child as they complete this activity with the words hit, mat, man, pot.

Extra Support

If your child needs extra support, ask them to look at your mouth as you orally split the sounds in the words, then ask them to copy you.

Extra Challenge

If your child needs an extra challenge, ask them to blend to read the four sounds in the following words: tram, nuts, tins, slop, slug, test, band.
