Phonics – Why are some letters different colours?

Leave a reply

Some parents might be wondering why some of the sounds your child is learning are written in different colours.

Consonants are presented in different colours depending on what part of the mouth they are made with.

Red – consonant sounds that are red are made with the lips, for example, “m”.  Pink is used for quieter mouth sounds, like “f”.

Blue – consonant sounds that are blue are made with the tongue (blue – because of the veins on the tongue), for example, “d”.  The letter “t”, for example, is light blue because it is a softer sound.

Yellow – consonant sounds that are yellow are made at the back/roof of the mouth. Imagine you have to shine a torch to see this part of the mouth.  Some yellow letters are “h”, “c” and “k”.

Green – these are sounds made with the cheeks, like “j”, “sh” and “ch”.

“x” – is yellow shaded with blue as “x” is made from “k” – yellow + “s” – blue.

Click on the links to see a list of all letters in their corresponding colour and a picture of the mouth with the different colour parts and some of the different sounds.

Vowel sounds are black because they are made with the middle of the mouth (like a dark tunnel).

Of course we have some tasks for you. Here is what we would like you to work on today. Please also see Week 2 Timetable for more details.

Literacy

  • Our new sound today is ‘wh’.

Where is the ‘wh’ sound made? (Note for parents it is made with the lips and is a loud red sound)

  • Can you think of any words that have the ‘wh’ sound?
  • Does the ‘wh’ sound come at the start, the middle or the end of these words?
  • Slide some sounds together to form words:

which, when, where, wheel, whip, whisk, whisper,

  • Now write these words and draw a picture to match. (extension activity, write sentences.)
  • Videos to look at,

Topic

  • Listen to the story of Rosie’s Walk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjC2Db40dXA

After reading the story, focus the child’s attention on the illustration of the whole barnyard inside the front cover of the book.

Imagine you are a bird flying over the barnyard.  Talk about what you would see below you. Use this to draw a simple map of the barnyard and then mark out the route she takes.
