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:

    • b-e-d bed

    • l-e-g leg

    • l-i-d lid

    • l-o-g log

• 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

Salt Dough Recipe

2 cups flour

1 cup salt

1 cup water

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour and salt

Gradually add the water while stirring and mixing to form a dough with a play-dough consistency

Form the dough into a ball and knead for approximately 5 minutes adding a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky of a bit more water if it's too dry.
