Good Morning Phonics Pupils and Parents,

I hope you’ve had a nice weekend. We’re continuing to follow the Read Write Inc live lessons on YouTube. Please get in touch if you need any help accessing the resources. I’ll also be posting a separate post about ‘Read and Hold a Sentence’ – a new activity for this week.

All lessons are now available from 9.30am. Additional lessons now available for reading High Frequency Words (Red Words) – they have Read Red Word 1, Read Red Words 2, and Read Longer Words 3. There’s a broad range of challenge within these, so if you want additional phonics activities, start with Red Red Words 1 and if your child can read them all, progress onto the next set.

1: Go to Ruth Miskin Training on youtube. Watch Set 1 Speed Sounds, Word Time & Spelling lessons. They haven’t published the schedule for June yet, but anything within Set 2 will be appropriate for your child. If you find the daily sound is one that your child is very confident, feel free to try the Set 3 Sounds and Spelling lesson for that day. All of these lessons are beneficial. 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 1 Speed Sounds book – this is an interactive book that lets your child practise the letter formation directly on the screen. https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29318.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 – https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29096.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.
