Your children will be introduced to the letters and sounds of the alphabet using the Jolly Phonics Program. For each sound there is an action which helps the children remember the sound the letter makes. The letters are not introduced in alphabetical order. They have been carefully selected to help the learning process.
I have sent home a sheet with the first group of letters and sounds we have learned for you to practise at home with your child. As we finish learning about a group of letters/sounds/actions I will send home the group sheet for you to practise at home with your child. At home have your child say the letter name and sound using the action picture. Ask your child to make the letter in the air or find it in a book during nightly reading with you.
For those students who already know letters and sounds you can extend the activity to reading and spelling the word for the action picture or writing a story about the picture.
Thank you for your at home support!
