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 (MTYT):

    • l-i-p lip

    • l-o-g log

    • l-e-t let

    • h-a-d had

• 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 Green word cards (you can write them on paper or a whiteboard or use the teaching video as a reference)

  • Read the words with the children. Show them the dots and dashes and ask them if they can see any special friends

  • Ask the children to say the sounds in Fred talk

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

• Review the words with your child and support them to read the words without the dots and dashes

Learning Objective:

• To strengthen fine motor skills

• To use familiar resources to be creative

You will need:

• Cardboard tubes

• Pegs

• Sticky tape and glue

• Coloured paper

• Cotton balls

• Googly eyes (optional)

• Learning activity:

• Begin by cutting three cardboard tubes of different lengths. You want them to be different so they represent the different size of each billy goat

• Paint the tubes or cover them with paper and use glue or sticky tape to hold it in place

• Use the scraps of cardboard tubing to create the billy goat ears and use the pegs to hold them in place. Easy!

• The pegs also look like the ears of the billy goat

• Add googly eyes to your goat and shape some cotton balls for the forelock and chin

• Use a pen to simply draw features like a nose and mouth

# Keep your beautiful bill goats safe as we will be using them in our learning later #
