This week we are learning the sounds <p> and <i> in our Literacy lessons.
In addition to reading with your child every day, you could do some of the following activities if you wish:
- Think of things that begin with the letters p and i and draw them.
- Rainbow write the letters p and i – pick a handful of different pens, pencils or crayons. Write the letters with a pencil first and then ask your child to trace them with different colours, multiple times.
- If your child comes along with you to do the food shop, challenge them to find as many different fruit and vegetables as they can that start with the letter p.
- Play letter detective by searching all of the <i> and <p> in a book or a magazine.
- Practise all of our letters so far (s, a, t, p, i) by drawing a letter on each others backs with your finger and guessing which letter it is.
- Sing along to our phonics songs: for the letter p and for the letter i.
Your child has also received a new literacy game to practise the new sounds. Have fun practising!
