Phonics at home
Phonics at Home Guidance: Reception
We use systematic synthetic phonics as our approach to word reading at school. Phonics is the sounds letters make. Phonics is an essential skill that will enable your child to read.
Please find below links to Youtube videos that will reinforce sounds taught at school so far and sounds that your child has not yet been taught as well as daily revision videos. Simply copy the episode title into Youtube or click on the links and enjoy!
We would recommend spending 30 minutes per day watching these videos if possible, starting with a revision video (pink), then watching the sounds that your child has already been taught (yellow) and sounds not yet taught (blue).
Each day for Reception children watch one or two of the following Youtube Videos as revision (the episode titles are the words beside the bullet points):
- Letters and Sounds Phase 2 set 2
- Letters and Sounds Phase 2 set 3
- Letters and Sounds Phase 2 set 4
- Letters and Sounds Phase 2 set 5 h, b, f, ff
- Letters and sounds Phase 2 set 5 l, ll, ss
After the revision, work through the videos below:
