Phase 1: This is where we are focusing on hearing sounds.
Some examples are: going on a sound walk, playing instruments and guessing which one has been played, distinguishing sounds from one another.

3. Phase 2: This is when we start to teach the initial sounds
Phase 2: This is when we start to teach the initial sounds. We start with s a t p i n because a lot of words can be made from these sounds.
Can you think of any 3 letter words that have been made from the sounds
s a t p i n ?

4. We will tell you which sounds we are teaching using the ‘morning whiteboard’. A good way for you to reinforce these sounds at home is by playing i-spy. You could also look for print in the environment.
