mark making
Do the morning register - look at what day it is and and practise writing your name. Can you write your last name? Can you write your age?
Choose your favourite words - can you blend the sounds and form the letters.
You can either ask mum or dad to print a copy for you to write on, or you can make your own register to use at home.

Phonics
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.

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
