The Phonic Alphabet The English language has 44 phonemes They should be taught to write each letter, forming it accurately. Children are taught to produce the sounds as shortly as possible, e.g no ‘uh’ on the end of ‘d’ and ‘g’. http://www.mrthorne.com/category/start / http://www.mrthorne.com/category/start /

Reading Your child will read once a week in a group with an adult at school, they will not bring this book home. Any reading that you do at home should be logged in the link book. Children will receive a merit for this. Children have the opportunity to choose a new home-reader three times per week. This is your child’s personal choice. In the summer term the children will be given a book linked to their reading level alongside their home reader twice a week.
14
Words Your child will have their words checked once a week by an adult in school. Please make sure they are in school everyday and please do not mix up the envelopes! Practise with your child regularly as this will aide their reading and writing skills. Try to make this as fun as possible! Record this in the link book, in the home work section. Children will receive a merit for this.

How to help at home Practise sound caterpillar. Challenge the children to find objects that begin with a certain sound. Play ‘I Spy’ with phonemes not letter names. Practise letter formation. Play rhyming bingo, lotto and extend rhyming strings. Play games with word cards. Make sentences with word cards. Weekly story sacks or rhyme bags.
