Phonics
The home learning letter we sent out before the holidays will tell you what group your child is in for phonics. Please let us know if you need a new letter.
We are learning to read and write a different letter each day:
Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | |
Group A | s | d | t | i | n |
Group B | u | b | f | e | l |
Group C | sh | ch | th | ng | qu |
Watch the video on espresso about the letter.
