In Year 1 we have been consolidating our Phonics learning and building confidence in our reading. We have been focussing on reading red words and developing fluency in our reading. The children have learned lots of strategies they can use to be a good reader. We have also been practising segmenting words and writing the sounds we hear. It has been lovely to see the children having some ‘Lightbulb’ moments and realising they are becoming more confident readers and writers.
The Children in Miss Rodgers group have been learning alternative ways to write the sounds they have learned. They are also beginning to learn the next set of Red Words which they will continue to learn throughout Year 1.
