Phonics

Let’s start our phonics by quickly recapping some of those three letter consonant blends. Have a look at the different pictures below. Which blend is missing from each word? You don’t have to write these down if you don’t want to, just say the consonant blend that you think is missing.

Today’s phonics focusses on polysyllabic words. Polysyllabic words are words that have more than one syllable for example windmill has two syllables – wind-mill, Saturday has three syllables – sat-ur-day.  Syllables in a word always contain a vowel – A, E , I, O U. It is useful to know this to make decoding words easier. When we read polysyllabic words we chunk them up to make them easier to read.

Challenge one – Watch the video and find the syllables in the different words. Don’t forget to do the actions as they will help you to understand how many syllables are in a word.

Challenge two – Read the words, clap out the syllables and decide how many syllables each word has. Colour in the syllables in different colours

 For example towel

Challenge three- Now look at the different pictures. Say the word that you see and write it down. Use the syllables you hear to help you.

Hope you all have a lovely day!
