Reception Phonics

12th June 2025Amanda Wallace

This week in Phonics we have been covering the following sound. The sounds will be sent out for the children to be practising to recognise the trigraph, say the trigraph and then write the grapheme.

The children are really starting to learn and retain those sounds but will need support to blend those sounds together. Have a go at the green words and the more they hear those sounds being blended the easier it will become. There is a sentence to read on the bottom of the sheet also. Reading this and also reading the reading books that the children now have will all help to increase and improve the children’s fluency in their reading.

Thanks

Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones.

You could even get involved by counting how many steps you walk each day.
