I can read and say the phoneme/sound for the lower and uppercase letters s a t p i n m d. And I can identify that the lower and uppercase letters sound the same.
I can identify and read the tricky words ‘I, is, the’.
I can use early book handling skills; follow left to right across the page, point underneath each word, turn the page carefully using my thumb and finger and recognise parts of the book e.g. cover, title.
I can say a word out loud, listen and segment a word to count the sounds using my phoneme fingers or counters e.g. sat s-a-t (has 3 sounds)
I am beginning to blend vc, cvc and cvcc words (v= vowel, c= consonant) by putting my finger underneath the word and pointing to each sound as I say them, then run/slide my finger under all the sounds as I blend them to read the word.
