Phonics
In school, we have a daily phonics lesson to teach reading and writing. Log on to the Active Learn website to access lessons and activities. I know some of you have already been using this website, but if you have not already done so, your child has a username and password and activities have been allocated according to your child's learning needs.
username: your child's name and first letter of their last name-e.g. SamH
password: Shenley
school code: gpwk
Complete one lesson (about one sound) each day.
Once you have completed a lesson, have a go at some of the games already allocated. If your child is confident with blending sounds to read words, they will have been allocated reading books which appear as an item on 'My Stuff'. These are the same books as those the children bring home with them and, once completed, they are stored in the 'My Library' tab so they are available for re-reading, which is great for developing fluency.
The children all love our phonics lessons. If your child would like to play some of the games we play online in class, have a look at the Phonics Play website.
