Tuesday
Phonics – We are going to recap on sounds learnt last term but reading and writing the sounds. This week we will look at y, z, j, qu. Ask your child to read the following sentences.
- A duck goes quack!
- A zebra licks jam.
Sound out the words for your child to hear and then try to write. For example d-u-ck g-o-s qu-a-ck. It is not important if words aren’t spelt correctly i.e. goes, but they write sounds they hear g-o-s. Encourage and praise their writing and hearing and recognising the sounds.
