Phonics is taught daily in year R and 1 to consolidate those key reading skills that must be established at a young age. Predominantly, phonics will be taught using 'Letters and Sounds'. We use games and a range of exciting activities to help the children learn phonics...
Here you will find a range of free, interactive and printable resources that will help to support your child on their Phonics learning journey. We begin with Phase 1 activities, that are designed to encourage children to tune in to many different sounds around them, including sounds they might hear in the environment and those heard from playing musical instruments . Once this stage of development is set, it enables the child to be able to listen to and hear the different sounds in words.
The phonics planning that is used and adapted (in order to make activities fun and engaging) is taken from Phonics Play.
This is a fantastic website that allows access to free resources that you can share with your child in order to support their phonics learning journey.
A fantastic chap named 'Mr Thorne', has some wonderful and very entertaining videos that shows how a sound is pronounced and gives some great examples on how your child can learn them.
