Below are three videos for your child to access when they are practising the speed sounds. The videos are purposely separated into three in order to support your child at the appropriate level. If you are unsure as to which video to use, please contact me via the learning log or email.

• MTYT Set 1 Speed Sounds: Use this video if your child needs to hear the sounds first and then repeat it after me

• MTYT Set 1 Special friends: Use this video if your child needs to hear the special friends (digraphs) sounds first and then repeat it after me

• Set 1 Speed Sounds: Use this video if your child is confident practising the sounds independently without support

Once you have completed the appropriate speed sound video, please continue with the daily phonics learning video below.

• Review Set 1 sounds

• Blending orally without Speed Sound Cards

  • Fred talk words:

    • p-a-t pat

    • s-i-t sit

    • m-a-n man

    • p-a-n pan

• Blending with Speed Sound Cards

  • Say the word clearly so that your child can hear it i.e., mat

  • Build the word. Say “I need…..” - ask your child to tell you the sound that you need and place the card down so that they can see it. Repeat with all the sounds in the word

  • Point to the sound and say the sounds (m-a-t) then sweep your finger under the word and say the word (mat)

• Read the words (you can write them on paper or a whiteboard or use the teaching video as a reference)

  • Ask the children to say the sounds in Fred talk

  • Say the word out loud running your finger under the word

Learning Objective:

• To be able to count two groups of objects together to find the total number

• To have an understanding that two numbers added together will make a new number

You will need:

• A selection of ten small toys

• Three small containers

• A number line to the number 10 (this can be handwritten on a piece of paper to support your child’s learning)

Learning activity:

• Divide the toys into two bowls and ask your child to count how many toys there are in each bowl

• Ask your child to write down the number for each one of the groups on a piece of paper and place it in front of the bowl

• If they need support use the number line to count until they reach the correct number and then copy the number from the number line.

• Next: Ask your child to take all the toys and place them together in a different bowl

• Focus on the language “putting or adding” the objects together so that we can find out the new number of the group

• Write down the total number of the two groups that have been added together

• Point out to your child that the total number is further along on the number line and therefore the number becomes bigger

Extension:

• You can ask your child to pick two numbers on the number line

• Repeat the process as before but this time count out the number of objects to match the number that has been chosen

• Add the two groups together to find the new total
