Alphablocks
Alphablocks are living letters that help us to learn sounds! When they hold hands, words magically appear. Here are some videos, games and activities to practice the sounds that you’ve been learning in school and to introduce some new ones.
Parents and carers – these videos (and more!) can be found on YouTube by searching ‘Alphablocks’ or, if you have a television license, can be viewed on BBC iPlayer. If you’d like to practice your initial sounds – letters of the alphabet – these can be found on the primary 1 page.
