Reception children are working so hard with their phonics!

We are already beginning to recognise some of the letter sounds and match them with objects. We now have grown up books for our letter formation practice which we use everyday. If your child is writing at home, please use the formation phrases, found in your child's reading record, or on the document below.

These will help your child become a handwriting superstar!

There are some words that we cannot sound out phonetically. These are referred to as 'tricky words'.  Learning these helps children become fluent readers. Why not have a go at Tricky Word bingo, this way your child practices both reading and spelling the words.
