Sounds chart

In your pack you will have a sounds chart. This is the landscape version for green, pink and  new yellow group, with the complex sounds chart ( portrait format) for the established yellow and grey groups. Read the sounds to a grown up. ( Use your pencil/spoon/straw as a pointing stick)

Sounds

You should have a set of speed sounds in your pack.

• Select a sound from this booklet each day.
• Read each word to a grown up.
• “Fred” ( sound out) each word using your “Fred” fingers.
• Ask a grown up to read each word from the sheet you have selected and write each word in your jotter.
• Check you got the spelling right.

Here’s a link to the sounds : set 2:

Red words

In your pack you should find a red word list.

Red words are words that we cannot sound out.

Green group use red words set 1, pink and new yellow use red words set 1 and 2, established yellow and grey use set 1, 2 and the first 3 lines of set 3.

Ask a grown up to read each word to you. Read them back to the grown up. At school we read these in horizontal lines , then vertically the choose words randomly pointing under each word with a lollipop stick ( you could use the end of a pencil).

Select a few words and tell the grown up why it is a red word ( why the letter sounds do not make sense, they are misbehaving)

For example “all” is  a red word because the “a” says “o” ! In brother the “o” sounds like an “u”.

Now ask the grown up to choose 5 words you have looked at , say each one aloud to you and write them in your jotter.

Did you get them right??

THANK YOU GROWN UPS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
