Learn and practice reading words that contain the hard or soft c by playing paper cup basketball! I had a message recently asking for an activity that looks at alternative phonemes for the same grapheme so here it is! You could also adapt this idea to sort real and nonsense words, words that contain alternative graphemes for the same phoneme like 'ai' and 'ay or maybe even sort letters that are often mixed like 'b' and 'd'. #phonicsfamily #phonics #teaching #learning #english #words #phonicsrule

Support a struggling reader by changing this one simple thing 👇🏼 One of the key skills that children need to develop in order to become proficient at blending to read is to quickly recall the sound for each letter within a word. If children say the sounds too slowly then blending can become laboured and by the time they have recalled the final sound within a word they have forgotten the first! Try this 👇🏼 Instead of showing one flashcard at a time to develop instant recall try placing a sele

If you have a child in Year 1 they will soon be learning all about split digraphs if they haven't been introduced to them already. I thought I would share a little story that I've used lots of times in the past as a way to introduce and demonstrate split digraphs. I would do this practically with children standing up and holding cards during a focused Phonics session. There are five split digraphs to learn (a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e and u-e). Children will need to have previous knowledge of the digraph

Yes I can! Here's how this activity prepares children for reading and writing and gives them a solid foundation for Phonics 👇🏻 💧Gross motor skills by jumping across the puddles - this is where writing begins! Children need to practise making large scale movements with their whole bodies in order to develop coordonation and the muscles in their shoulders, arms and neck to improve posture for writing. 💧Fine motor skills by drawing the puddles with chalk - children develop the muscles in their

DIY Tactile Letter Cards ☝🏻 Research shows that children learn best when we use a multisensory approach. Try making these easy-to-make, super sensory cards to develop letter recognition and formation. Children will not only see the letter but feel it! As they run their finger along the letter they begin to understand and remember how the letter is formed and this will prompt the movement to be stored in their muscle memory. #phonicsfamily #phonics #letters #learningletters #alphabet #cardboard

🖐🏻When writing sentences with children in Phonics sessions I always encourage the group to say the sentence aloud and use their fingers to count the number of words they need before writing it. This oral rehearsal and counting means that once children have written the sentence they can go back and count how many words they have written and check if it matches. 🖐🏻Using our hands and fingers in this way makes sentence writing more multi-sensory and also means that the spaces between each finge

Notebook Snap! 📓👋🏻 Throwback Thursday! Just thought I would reshare this really quick and simple game that uses very limited resources and can easily be adapted to suit the phase your child is working. You could have letters of the alphabet, graphemes from other phases, decodable or tricky words or words from a past Phonics screening check paper written in the notebook. Fill a cheap, empty book with a letter or word on each page. For my son I wrote simple CVC words. I also put the sound butto

Rainbow Writing 🌈 My son came home the other day and said he was practising writing 'h' and 'b' at school and finding it quite tricky. I knew that this set of @mymummyteacher Phonics cards would be perfect to help him with his letter formation. I wanted to encourage him to really concentrate on the starting points and direction of formation rather than needing to put all of his conscious effort into physically holding the writing tool so I took away the pencil and made a quick sensory writing t

Katie Whitehead | Sharing Fun Phonics Games on Instagram: "An excellent classroom resource that helps children hone their skill of isolating and manipulating individual phonemes within a word; a fundamental skill for spelling. An activity like this works really well for all stages of Phonics instruction and a great way to continue to focus on segmenting throughout Early Years and Key Stage One. Children can use magnetic letters or laminate the board and they write can within the frames. Comment
