Phonics

Today we are going to start our phonics by recapping the polysyllabic words from yesterday. Make some number cards with the numbers 1,2,3,4 on and place them in different places in your room. Watch and listen to the syllable song. Once you have clapped, stomped or crunched the syllables run to the number which shows how many syllables that word has.

For example if the word is pondweed I will do two stamps and run to the number 2.

Today’s phonics is all about our tricky words again.

Challenge one – Play a game of fastest finger. How fast can you find the tricky words?

Challenge two – Try and complete the tic-tac-toe grid. How many of the challenges can you tick off.

Challenge three- seen as though it’s a lovely day today it would be a shame to not do any phonics outside. So if you are outside today can you find different materials like twigs and stones and spell out your tricky words in different ways.

Hope you all have a lovely day, stay safe and enjoy the sunshine!
