BBC bitesize this game allows your child to listen to the sounds in a word and to pick the correct letter. Then they can see what word they have made with all of the sounds together. Phonics play there are several free games to play that will help your child with their blending and segmenting. During our Read Write Inc sessions we practise our reading skills by reading Green Words. These are words that are decodable because they only contain sounds that your child will be able to recognise. The children have met Fred during our sessions. Fred is a frog who can not read words as we can but says everything in sounds, or Fred Talk. The children know to sound out or Fred Talk each sound whilst pointing underneath the letters, then to blend the sounds to make the word. If your child knows them on sight they can read them without sounding out and this is an important progression in their reading. Below you can find copies of the Green Words. With your child, look for the parts of each word that they can sound out normally and then identify the parts that are tricky Your child needs to be able to read these words on sight.
