Year 1: Phonics

This week the children in Miss Schon and Miss Rodger’s groups are learning ‘ou – Shout it out’. We are also remembering ‘ow – brown cow’. When spelling words we are learning which words are spelt using /ou/ and which ones are spelt using /ow/. We are also continuing to practise our reading fluency. Can we read sentences fluently without having to sound out the words? The children can practise this in their reading books at home by re-reading sentences or pages in their books so they can see they are able to read faster and more effortlessly. Please encourage children to read their reading books more than once so they feel they have achieved this.
