Welcome to Year 1
Our teacher is Mrs Bray and our teaching assistants are Miss Whitehead and Mrs Dunn.
Welcome to the Year 1 class page please take a look at what we are learning throughout the year.
PHONICS AND READING
Children use their phonics knowledge when they are reading and writing. This approach has been shown to provide a quick and efficient way for most young children to learn to read words on the page fluently and accurately. We want children to develop this skill so that it becomes automatic. This also greatly helps them with their spelling. Watch the video to practice saying the letter sounds correctly.ldren also practise reading (and spelling) what we call ‘red words’, such as ‘once,’ ‘have,’ ‘said’ and ‘where’.
The children practise their reading with books that match the phonics and the ‘red words’ they know.
Below you can find the links to some videos that will help you understand what phonics is and how it is taught and also how to pronounce sounds correctly when you are reading with your child.
