Please check the sticker in your child’s reading diary each week for their specific sounds.
Spellings
At the beginning of each week your child will be sent home with spellings based on the sounds and tricky words they will learn in phonics that week.
The spellings will link to the mats above as well as “tricky words” (words which cannot be spelt using phonics).
