October Homework (30/09- 24/10): Review

9/26/2019

0 Comments

 

Phonics: Our focus is on the sound the letter makes, not the letter name. There is a jolly phonic song and hand action accompanying each sound and these can be found on YouTube. Just type in the letter plus jolly phonics into the YouTube search bar e.g. s jolly phonics. It is important that your child listens to the jolly phonics songs regularly. Please ensure the phonics cards are stored safely in the phonics wallet. Please write your child’s name on the back of every phonics card. Please only focus on sounds covered- do not go ahead with future homework at home. p: as in pirate/ parrot /party/ Paw Patrol/ princess etc.

n: as in nose/ neighbour/ net/ neck/ night etc. c: as in car/ cup/ cake/ cat/ etc. Please be careful that your child pronounces it as ‘c’ and not ‘cu’. k: as in kitten/ kite/ kitchen/ kettle etc. Please note the different mouth movement between ‘c’ and ‘k’. ck: ‘c’ sound at the end of words such as sock/ duck/ quack etc. e: as in egg/ elephant/ elf/ empty etc. N.B. eat/ evening/ easy etc.  is a different sound so your child should not draw pictures of these as examples of the ‘e’ sound. We will learn the long ‘e’ sound at a later date. h: as in horse/ hat/ happy/ hand etc.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, your child will draw and colour 4 pictures of words that begin with the particular sound we are learning. It is very important that the adult completing this homework with your child, clearly labels each picture your child draws.

Blending:
Your child will learn to read many words by blending the sounds together. By the end of this month, your child should be able to blend and read the following words
it       sit      sat     pit      tip      pip      sip      an      ant     in       nip      pan     pin      tin      tan          nap     tap     sap   
 
Use the phonics cards to make these words. Don’t worry if your child is finding this difficult at present! Plenty of practice will help build his / her confidence.

Sight/ Tricky / High Frequency Words: These words cannot be blended so your child will learn to recognise and read these words by sight only. Please ensure the sight word cards are stored safely in the words wallet. Please write your child’s name on the back of every word card. Please only focus on words covered- do not go ahead with future homework at home. By the end of this month, your child should be able to instantly recognise the following words. Plenty of practice will help build his / her confidence.
​
A      a      The      the         I        l         have   Here   here   my      My     is       be

Reading: Our main focus is that the child uses his/ her index finger to point to each word/ picture. The purpose of this reading is to ensure your child instantly recognises the sight word we are focusing on and is making the link between words and text.
