I thought it would be a good idea to list all phonemes covered so far for your child. If your child is in the Green, Yellow or Red group for literacy they will have covered the following sounds.

sh,   ch,    th,    ng,     wh,     ph,     ee ,    oo,  ck,     ai,      oy,     oa,     qu,  ay,   ea (leaf)

ow (snow),       ue,    aw,     oi,      au,     ew,  ow (owl),   ou,       igh,   y (fly),

i with magic e (fine),

o with magic e (home)

Here are some activities you could do to practise your spelling-

• Write out words that have some of the above phonemes in them. Remember to look, cover, write, say and check.
• Use coloured pencils to rainbow spell, write your words in capital letters or dotted spelling.
• Write your words in a sentence. Can you add a joining word? Can you add a question mark?

Blue literacy group continue to work on the sounds of the alphabet. Youtube has lots of great songs, just type in alphabet songs.

Other activities you can do are-

• Play I spy, for example, using a for apple or b for bin.
• Can you write some sounds on paper and cut them out? Then can you put the sound next to an object in your home that starts with that sound? For example writing d and then cutting it out and putting it at the door.
• Use playdough, counters or cut up paper to create each sound.
