Phonics in Nursery

Today in Nursery we started this terms Phonics, we will be learning two new sounds a week. The sounds will be posted on the blog each week so you are aware of what the children are focusing on. We are so excited to start this phonics journey 😃

Miss Schon’s Phonics Group

16th January 2024Carly Schon

Wow, what can I say. We had some amazing progress last term and it was lovely to speak to parents during SLCs who said that they had noticed lots of improvement win their children’s reading and writing skills. Some children made super progress and have now moved on to the next group to continue learning at a faster pace with Miss Rodgers.

We have now finished consolidating our previous sounds and are moving on to the next stage in our learning. We are learning /or/ this week in our phonics session and we are focussing on writing in sentences. In Shared Reading we have some additional challenges to look out for in our Share Reading books and we are taking to this brilliantly! It is so lovely to see how much more fluent the children are becoming with their reading.
