Sing the alphabet together then say what sound each letter makes.
Introduce the next phoneme. Say ‘a-e’ and ask your child to look at what your mouth does, what shape it makes? Then ask your child to say the sound and think about what their own mouth is doing.
Have a look at the following ‘a-e’ video which revises ‘ai’ and ‘ay’ too!
Write the phoneme in the air then on the table or carpet in front of you.

It would be good to have an idea of where children’s understanding is with the phonemes we have been learning, so this week is going to be a consolidation/assessment week and we will introduce a new sound next week.
Part 1 of the assessment is to see if children can recognise the sound that the phoneme makes. Ask your child to read the phoneme and if they get it right please put a tick underneath it; if they get it wrong put a dot.
For the second part ask your child to read the word. If they can read the word please tick the box, and if they can’t please put a dot.
For the final part – Ask your child to read the words on the sheet. Then read each one out loud and ask them to write it. If they can read and spell the words please tick the box.

Time
Focus on the words early, on time and late. Explore what these mean. Have you ever been late for something? School? The doctor? A friend’s house? What happened as a result? Were you reprimanded, did you miss your appointment or tea at your friend’s house? If children can’t think of anything you could use the following scenario:
Cindy was taking her kitten to the vet. She was late for her appointment and had to wait for ages until the vet had time to see her.
Greg was late to the cinema and missed the first half hour of the film. He couldn’t understand what the film was about.
Repeat the same sort of discussion for early. What might you have to do if you are very early for an appointment or a film at the cinema?

Time
Children will be aware of common devices used to measure time, e.g. a clock, but might not realise how many different clocks there are in their environment. Ask them to explore where time is shown at home. Go around the house and ask children to draw a picture, take a photo or make a note every time they see a clock, watch, timer, etc. Then create a poster of the different examples. Use newspapers, magazines, catalogues or online shops to find further examples of timepieces, e.g. car clock, satellite navigation, microwave display, DVD player. Discuss where children might see these.
