Word Reading
We follow the 'Little Wandle Letters and Sounds' phonics programme. We do two phonics sessions a day.
In the morning, children learn the sounds that each letter of the alphabet makes (phonemes). In the afternoons, children are tuning into sounds carefully, recapping syllables, rhyming words, blending sounds together and identifying initial (first) sounds in words.
Comprehension
This half term our key literacy text is 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. Children will be learning this story off by heart, using pictures and actions. Please look out for our story map being uploaded to this page soon! Children will be encouraged to use puppets, story spoons and pictures to retell the story of Goldilocks.
Children will also be encouraged to create their own stories. This will include children choosing their own character, setting, problem and resolution!
Writing
This half term your children will learn:
how to write their name
how to correctly form the letters in their name
how to write initial (first) sounds in words e.g. 'c' for 'cat'
