This video shows how we pronounce the phonics sounds. They are called PURE sounds. They are very short and don't have the 'uh' after them-try saying b, c and d at the front of your mouth without the 'uh' sound after it. This means c-a-t with blend to say cat not cu-a-tuh!
Try it!
Top Tips for Parents:
We use the terms 'code' for how it is written and 'sound' for the sound it makes when you say it.
This week we are learning:
the code -y that makes the sound /ee/.
and
the sound /ay/ that is made with the code 'ai' as in rain and 'ay' as in pay and day
ck
This week we have been learning about the famous pirate Blackbeard so we needed to know this code ready to write our descriptions.
Why not try making a story out of other Topic related 'ck' words.
Blackbeard
deck
peck
wreck
shock
stuck
black
attack
ar
The first sound we have been learning this week is 'ar' because pirates use this sound all the time!
