Phonic Sounds

The link below will recap all the phonics sounds your child has already been taught. When your child sings the sound there is also an action to go with it. https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=74kIrFdOaPw

Tricky words Tricky words are words you can not sound out. They are words your child needs to learn to recognise by sight. On the next few slides there will be some tricky words. See whether your child can read them. If they struggle make little flashcards so they can practise them.

Making Words On the next slide there are some pictures. All of the words will have the sound ‘a’ in them. This is the focus sound for today. For each picture, say the word and then sound it out. I will model each word for you on the next slide.

Writing the words When writing words, letter formation is really important. Today’s letter focus is the letter ‘a’ so, first of all, make sure your child is holding their pencil correctly and practise forming the letter ‘a’.

Tips on the correct pencil grip, we encourage children to ‘pinch and flick’ the pencil to make sure they are holding it correctly.

Writing the letter ‘a’ First practise writing the letter ‘a’. Encourage your child to try and write it on lined paper.

The picture shows an example instructing you on how to correctly form the letter.

Writing the words Look at the pictures again. Say the word, sound out the word and then get your child to try and write the word. Please use all lowercase letters. An example of how the writing should look is below.
