Literacy Inspire - 11th October 2016
The main emphasis of the inspire session was to get children attuned to the sounds around them and ready to begin developing oral blending and segmenting skills. There are lots of literacy resources below to help the children learn their letters and sounds.
This video will help parents/carers to pronounce the sounds of the letters that are used in school during letters and sounds lessons.
Phase One of Letters and Sounds concentrates on developing children's speaking and listening skills and lays the foundations for the phonic work which starts in Phase 2. The emphasis during Phase 1 is to get children attuned to the sounds around them and ready to begin developing oral blending and segmenting skills.
Phase 1 is divided into seven aspects. Each aspect contains three strands: Tuning in to sounds (auditory discrimination), Listening and remembering sounds (auditory memory and sequencing) and Talking about sounds (developing vocabulary and language comprehension).
These free online games will be useful for Phase 1 of the Letters and Sounds phonics programme. Most of the games will work well on an interactive whiteboard as well as for individual play on a computer. To play a game, just click the picture and it will open in a new window or tab.
