Children in Reception and Year 1, take part
in a daily phonics lesson learning 4 new sounds a week. In Reception, they may come home with a stickers on their front with the new phoneme (letter sound) they are learning on it. Please practise this sound at home. Mrs Wood will continue to add videos to seesaw so that you can see
how each phoneme is pronounced. You can also access videos on the Little
Wandle website alongside visuals to help with writing and learning these. The
link for the Little Wandle parents materials can be found below: https://www.littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk/resources/for-parents/
In Year 1, children will
learn how different graphemes (written letters) might make the same sound e.g. way,
weigh, mate, wait all have an
/ai/ sound in them. Miss vHarrison will of course share support materials
with you on seesaw as necessary.
Children will also learn
tricky words which cannot be sounded out and in Year 1 will look at alien words
which can be read using phonics decoding knowledge but are not real words e.g.
grumt or phal.
In addition to their daily
phonics lesson, children will read, with an adult, as part of a group, 3
times a week. They will learn to decode the text, work on their prosody
(Fluency and intonation) and develop their comprehension skills. At the
end of the week, the book they read in school will come home as the child’s
reading book. They should be confident in reading this book to around 95%
accuracy and should be able to tell you all about the story/non-fiction
text. Each book has questions and ideas for you on the inside
cover. Please read the book with your child 3/4 times during the week,
talking about the story, character and setting as you go. Please write
what you read and discussed in your child’s reading record.
