Hi there

Here are a few games for you to play at home to support what we are doing in our phonics group.

www.starfall.com
http://www.focusonphonics.co.uk/index2.php?action=underestand
http://www.kented.org.uk/ngfl/games/wordTree.html - you will need to type in some words for the children to blend to read. This is a friendly way of helping your child to read the words containing the spelling patterns we have used so far as well as ones we will be focusing on this week.
http://www.kented.org.uk/ngfl/games/helpAhedgehog_v4.html - a great game to help speed up reading words. Have a go also on some of the others.

Have fun!

Hi

Just two websites to look at this week

http://www.teachers-direct.co.uk/resources/wordsearches/preview.aspx?puzzle-number=106268 - this is a word search specifically designed by me to help you spell or and ar words.

Why not have a go at making one for others to do. It's really easy.

www.starfall.com - a great website for focusing on those tricky spelling patterns.

Bye for now

let's spell!!

Hi there

Welcome to our first phonics blog which has lots of games for you to play to support the work we are doing in our phonics group. Try to play on them at least three times a week.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/wordsandpictures/longvow/poems/flash/fpoem4.shtml - this looks at the spelling pattern ‘oa’.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/wordsandpictures/longvow/poems/flash/fpoem9.shtml - this looks at ‘igh’.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/wordsandpictures/longvow/snap/snap.shtml - a snap game to help the children quickly identify the letter patterns in words.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/wordsandpictures/cvc/whirl/game.shtml - I would recommend this website to support the blending of sounds together when reading.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks1bitesize/literacy/phonics/index.shtml - a great website with different levels. Start at the medium level and then work on from there at your own pace.
http://www.ngfl-cymru.org.uk/vtc/16022007/wordmaker_vowels1/lesson.html - I really like this one. You could easily have a go at sections 1 and 2.
http://www.starfall.com/n/skills/the-lonely-vowel/load.htm?f - a great little video!
http://www.starfall.com/n/level-a/learn-to-read/load.htm?f - select the games to play with our spelling patterns in them.

Have fun!
