Panda Class – Phonics – Read Write Inc link 30th March 2020

Hi Panda Parents/Carers,

I hope you are well.

I wanted to highlight a great resource from Read Write Inc – our phonics lessons / resources.

There are live films for teaching phonics lessons, available everyday for 2 weeks with each episode available for 24hrs.

Set One Speed Sounds @ 9:30am  (These are really important for revision)

Set Two Speed Sounds @ 10:00am  (This is where we are up to currently – we have covered ay, ee, igh, ow, oo (as in moon) & oo (as in book)   New learning would be ar, or, air, ir, ou & oy

Set Three Speed Sounds @ 10:30am  For when children have completed Set Two Speed Sounds (This set is for learning more ways of writing the same sounds)

I would recommend watching Set One Sounds, then have a break and watch Set Two Sounds a little while later.

There are also further films for parents/Carers which help with understanding the process of teaching phonics and how to say the sounds.

Please follow the link below and hopefully you will enjoy tuning in every day.

Your children will be so pleased and proud to show you how well they can do – I’m sure you could use Dojo rewards to add Monster points! Keep the wonderful communications through Dojo, I love hearing about what you have been doing.

Happy Phonics

Mandy Turner
