We are currently focusing on Phase 3 phonics within the Government Letters and Sounds programme. If you would like to read into this further, I have added the government document for Letters and Sounds below.
This weeks sounds:
| Sound/ Focus | Explanation |
| oi | oi as in coin,spoil, toilet, |
| er | Recognising that the sound that ‘er‘ makes can also by made through other digraph spellings such as or (worm), ir (dirt), ur (surf). The main focus is on the spelling ‘er’ as in footballer, sister, jumper. |
| ear | ear as in near,fear,tear. |
| Tricky words | These are words that cannot be sounded out. Have a look at the ‘Terrific Tricky Words’ blog for different ways to practice tricky words. Please see the tricky word attachment below, for the list of words. |
