Which letters and sounds are we learning this week

This week will see us focusing on the digraphs (2 letter sounds) SH, CH, TH and NG.

Your child will need to learn the letter names like you say them when saying the alphabet (A, B, C) as well as the letter sounds they make when put together.

Which high-frequency words are we learning this week?

Our tricky or High-Frequency Words this week ‘we’, ‘me’ and ‘be’.

Don’t forget to include some of the previous week’s high-frequency words in your activities too. You can find a list of all of them or the different phases in one place in our High-Frequency and Tricky Word Lists.

What can we do with this week’s sounds?

How to make your own sensory I-spy bottle to help your child to learn to read

Sensory: Simple Sensory Alphabet Bottle Game

Build a word: Cookie Spelling

Learning to read sentences based on HFW for early readers

Sentence Activity: Sentence Building with Post-it Notes

Don’t forget that any of the activities can be used each week so if your child has a favourite sensory letter or word building activity use those instead. It helps make the activities more familiar to them.

What words can I create?

Don’t forget to mix this week’s letters with those letters from previous weeks. That way, you can keep practising them and you can create a wider range of words.

High-frequency and tricky words for children to learn as they learn to read

For ideas on the simple, HFW and tricky words you can create with the letters we’ve learned so far, please look at our word lists.

Work on any of the letters from Week 2 of Phase 3 Phonics.

Review and work with all of the letters in Phase 2 Phonics as well as the common words.

You can find more ideas at Letters and Sounds, with Jolly Phonics or staying here with us!
