Fantastic Phonics

As the children are introduced to each new letter in our phonics lessons, they are taught how to say the 'pure' sound that the letter makes. Using the 'pure' sounds really supports the children with their early blending and reading as it makes it much easier for them to work out what word they are trying to read.

A link to the Read Write Inc. sound pronunciation guide can be found in the 'Parents Evening FAQ's' blog post below to support you with correct sound pronunciation when you are helping your children at home.

In addition to this , the children in RG have recorded some helpful clips to demonstrate the correct pronunciation for the first 5 phonic sounds that we learn in Reception. Please have a look and check out how they say each 'pure' sound.

m - Maisy, mountain mountain

a - round the apple, down the leaf

s - slither down the snake

d - round the dinosaurs bottom, up his tall neck and down to his feet

t - down the tower, across the tower

Check back next week for the next 5 sounds!!
