Previous Learning
Before your child is able to begin Phase 2 of the Letters and Sounds program they need to be confident at segmenting and blending.
It is not necessary to recognise any letters just hear and say their sounds in words.
Blending
You can support your child at home by trying sound talk around the house.
For example while making dinner ask your child to pass the p-a-n, see if they can blend the sounds together to pass you the pan.
You could also try c-oa-t, b-e-d, t-oy-s, p-e-g, b-a-th, t-a-p
Segmenting
This is the reverse of blending, try saying a word, e.g. 'bed' and ask your child to sound talk it to you 'b-e-d'
This week the children have been playing the game 'metal mike' where they say the individual sounds in words like a robot.
