Week 3
We suggest that you do phonics every day for 20 minutes. The children need to spend time reading real and nonsense words. We have added a selection of fun phonics games that can be adapted for different words and a selection of ICT games too at the bottom!
Mrs Watson’s phonics group
This week, please practise the alternative spellings for igh and phase 5 tricky words (please see the Year 1 homework page on the website for a list of tricky words).
Can you practise reading and writing the following words. We have already learnt igh and ie but i-e is a new way to write the ai sound. It is called a split diagraph because a letter goes in the middle!
