KS1: Miss Cooper’s Phonics Group

Miss Cooper has been really pleased with her phonics group over the past few weeks. Some of the children blew us away with heir phonics check scores and their accuracy when reading words!

This week the children have been learning /ar/ start the car.

Miss Cooper has been encouraging children to read their reading books at home to show off their super reading skills. Please read with your child as often as possible as reading the same books more than once will really help their confidence and reading fluency. Also please remember to practise your phonics homework sheets and red words!

KS1: Miss Schon’s Phonics Group

This week we have been learning /ea/ ‘Time for tea. We have been learning to read and spell words containing our three known /ee/ graphemes. We know that some words only use one ‘e’ for /ee/ and some use ‘ee’ or ‘ea’.

I have been really impressed with he children’s effort and enthusiasm and I can tell the children have been practising their red words and reading books at home! I have heard some super reading over the past few weeks! This week we have been working on our accuracy and checking that we look carefully and words to ensure we read them correctly.

We now have a new ‘fun phonics’ session in an afternoon where we have also been learning about split digraphs. Yesterday we learned about split digraph /a-e/ like in the words cake, bake, sale, take, snake. The children loved learning about split digraphs!

Please remember to send reading books back every Friday so that I can change the children’s shared reading books in our phonics session.

Thank You

Don’t forget tomorrow is reading books day! Please make sure all reading books are returned tomorrow so that children’s phonics books/homework can be updated in their phonics groups. We have seen huge improvement in children’s confidence, enjoyment and fluency since starting our new home reading strategy. Thank you so much for all your support with this. It is so lovely to hear comments from parents about their child’s achievements at home!
