The children have now been grouped for phonics based on their recent assessments and they will be working on sounds matched to their individual needs. These groups will be closely monitored and the children moved up as soon as they master the level they are at currently. If your child is to be part of one of these phonics groups they will have come home this evening with a postcard which indicates their group – pink, red or blue – and I will post their weekly phonic sound focus and spellings on the blog and on Classroom for them to practise for a touchdown activity at the end of each week. If you have any questions please do get in touch.
