Hint for parents and carers
You can copy these worksheets and activities onto plain paper instead of printing them if you prefer.
Activity too hard?
Slow down the learning by pausing and providing more time to practise.
Focus on being able to say the sound when the letter is displayed.
Repeat the activities at other times throughout the day for further practise. Repetition supports learning.
Write the letters on post-it notes in both capitals and lower-case and scatter them throughout the house. Look for those letters around your home and say the phoneme out loud that is represented by those letters for more practise. Make it fun!
Activity too easy?
Focus more on the blending of the words and manipulating the order of the phonemes.
e.g. “I have ‘sat’. Take away the 's'. What is the new word?”
“Now I have ‘at’. At the beginning add 'p'. What word have you made?”
Look for the letters ‘s’ ‘a’ ‘t’ and ‘p’ around the house and encourage saying the phoneme that those letters can represent.
Brainstorm words that have the sound in them that we were learning today, e.g. sock, bus, tip, Tim, cat.
