Year 1 Phonics practice

Dear parents/carers,

Today your child has brought home a set of phonics sounds and words in their reading diary. They will receive a new set of words every Friday which are linked to the sounds your child has been learning during their phonics lessons each week. In order to support your child with their reading, please can they practise reading all the words. Please encourage them to use ‘Special Friends, Fred Talk, Read the Word’ to sound out and blend any words that they are not sure of.

Please note that these words are to practise reading. The children do not need to know how to spell the words.

Many thanks,

Year 1 Team

Year 1 Reading

Dear Parents/Carers,

Today your child will come home with a reading diary and reading book. The book is linked to your child’s phonics group and is similar to the book they are reading in school. Please try to listen to your child read as much as possible, and record what they have read in their diary. Encourage them to sound out and blend unfamiliar words, and ask them questions about what is happening in the book.

The books will be changed every Tuesday and Friday, but children need to have their book and diary in school every day.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Many thanks,

The Year 1 Team
