KS1 Phonics

Miss Schon’s Group: This week we have been doing our assessments. All children are doing great at remembering their phonics and reading words. Some children are struggling a little with their red words or reading fluency. Keep practising your reading at home as often as possible as we have been doing so well with our memory skills now we need to keep up the practise!

This week our sound is /ue/ Blue Glue
