Morning Phonics Pupils and Parents,

I hope you managed to access some of the Live RWInc lessons or use some of the resources last week. We’ve been joining in from my house as well as my daughter is also P.2! This week they’ll be running the lessons Monday – Thursday, not Friday. I’m guessing this is something to do with English holidays. If you are joining in with the live lessons for Sounds & Spelling, this is more than enough. If you’re not managing to access the YouTube channel, use the Optional Extras below.

Groups 2, 3 & 4 will still be following Set 2, and this week they will be covering air, ir, ou, oy. For some this will be consolidation, and for others it will be completely new.

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. TOP TIP: I’ve found it easier to go onto the channel half hour later than the live, so it’s definitely there and it avoids the live delay that sometimes happens.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ

Optional Extras

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 2 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.
