We learned our first double sound today in Jolly Phonics!

A double sound has two letters that make one sound in a word.

We learned that when two vowels go walking together in a word the first one shouts its name. Listen to the song link below to find out more.

 

We then used our new sound ‘ai’ to blend some words.

Tips for phonics at Home:

Remember the difference between the sound a letter makes (e.g ssss) and the name e.g S (esss). Try to reinforce this at home in discussions.
