Morning Phonics Pupils and Parents,
Since the phonics approach being used in extra phonics sessions is centred around Read Write Inc approaches, we’re going to use some of their fantastic online resources to consolidate as well as learn new phonics. The Ruth Miskin Training channel on youtube is running Live phonics sessions every day. There are three 10 – 15 minute sessions back to back, covering Speed Sounds, Word Time and Spelling. The videos are available for 24hrs from the point of going live, so you can fit it into your day wherever works best.
Groups 2, 3 & 4 will be following Set 2, and this week they will be covering ow, oo, ar and or. For some this will be consolidation, and for others it will be completely new. At some point over the next few weeks I may separate out these groups, but for now all children in these groups will benefit from these lessons.
1: Go to Ruth Miskin Training on youtube. Watch Set 2 Speed Sounds & Word Time at 10am, then the Spelling at 10.15am. The videos will be available for 24hrs so you can watch later in the day. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ
2: Go to the Oxford Owl website (all children should have been given a login). Login first, then come back to this page and click this link. Set 2 Speed Sounds book – this is an interactive book that you can use to practise the sounds again, or even use the pen tool to practise writing over the top on the screen. https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29317.html
3: Staying on the Oxford Owl page, if you scroll down slightly from the Set 1 Speed Sounds, you’ll see individual Speed Sound practice sheets. Select the one that matches each days phonics video. If you have access to a printer, print off the relevant sheet. If you don’t, try and do something similar on a blank piece of paper, or in your child’s home learning jotter. https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/reading-schemes-oxford-levels/read-write-inc-phonics-guide/#set1
4: Practice the Speedy Green Words. Try these first https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29097.html
If your child found these words easy and read them at sight without sounding out, try these ones https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29093.html
Hopefully all the links work and you manage to access everything. Finally, there’s a lot of content here. Please don’t feel you have to do it all, just dip in and out of what you can, and what works around your family / work / life balance.
