9. Pink book – the first book with words……
Pink book – the first book with words…….the words are ones that your child can sound out. You can start to build words – b u g.
As the year goes on, we will be teaching words that do not sound out (eg the) TRICKY WORDS. These will be attached to the front of the sound book. Children need to learn these words by sight. Also we will be sticking in HF words to learn by sight rather than sounding ot to speed up reading and begin to gain fluency.

Practise tricky and high frequency words-Blue words are “Tricky” and green are “HFW”
