Miss Matthews and Miss Somers help us to learn in nursery. This term we are learning about the Animal Kingdom.
Here are some ideas of things you can do together at home to support your child's development and learning:
During the year we will learn the picture cards from Read, Write, Inc. This is the phonics programme used throughout Early Years and Key Stage 1. You can practise these picture sounds at home with your child. Show your child the picture cards and ask them to name the picture. For example, for 'a', your child might say 'apple', 'a-a-apple' or 'round the apple, down the leaf'. This is perfect!
We learn all our picture cards before we learn pure sounds, like 'a', and before we write the letters.
