Welcome to my first phonics video!
I am going to be looking at different phonemes (sounds) that you have learnt about in school. I will be activating your memory to help you and your parents at home. Each English class looks at different phonemes so I will have a selection throughout each week. I hope these will help you remember so that you can practise at home!
Hi Everyone
This week I am starting some new phonics videos for you and your children. In the videos I will include some of the phonemes (sounds) and graphemes (letters we see written down) that your children have been learning about this term. I thought it might be useful to hear what they sound and look like so you can help your children with their reading.
Remember if you have any questions you can add them in the comments below or talk to your class teacher!
Keep safe
Thanks
Mrs Hall
