Sounds

We are learning to blend sounds together. This week we will be working on blends with ‘i’ (eg.bi, li, hi, si etc). Practice reading the sound list in your jotter EVERY night and time yourself. Can you get quicker each night. Record your best time each night in seconds on your sheet.

Challenge – Can you make up 3 or 4 letter words beginning with each blend and write them in your jotter?
