Phonics:

See the source image

At Kingsnorth, we use the programme Read, Write, Inc to teach phonics. The children are taught in small groups according to their phonic knowledge, this will mean that we can work on the next steps specific to your child.  The children will be introduced to a sound a day and will have opportunities to practise taught sounds throughout the day.  To be on track at the end of this term, your child needs to be able to read CVC words independently.   Please continue to support your child by reading their book daily with them.

   How can you help your child at home?

If you are worried about your child and their speech or language development please have a look at the link for the Parents Portal on Speech and Language Link below:

 https://speechandlanguage.info/parents

  • Talking about your day. What did you do first? What did you do in PE? What did you have for lunch? What was your favourite/best part of the day?
  • Play games to encourage turn taking.
  • Continue to read stories to your child as well as listening to them read daily. 
  • Encourage your child to be independent with: getting dressed, zipping their coat up, putting on hats, gloves, scarves and using a knife and fork, wiping their nose. 
  • Look for numbers in the environment "what number can you see on that door?" "How many trees can you see?".
  • Practise counting forwards (1-10) and backwards (10-1). Start on different numbers. Count beyond 10.
  • Counting objects both in a straight line and in a random order. 
  • Talking about the days of the week - what day is it today? What day was yesterday/tomorrow? 
  • Practise Nursery Rhymes.
  • Finding one more or one less for a given number to 10.
  • Practise number bonds to 5 (5+0, 4+1, 3+2, 2+3, 1+4 0+5).
  • Practise letter formation.
  • Use the free White Rose app to practise subitising. 

Please feel free to contact us if needed to discuss any concerns or worries, either: write a note in your child's reading record, speak to us on the door or via the office.
