Phonics and spellings
We use Monster Phonics in school, but you can still use other websites and resources to help your child's developing phonic knowledge and skills. A really useful website is https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/ where your child can play lots of blending and segmenting games that they really enjoy.
Please practise your child's spellings each week, these can be found in their Monster Phonics spelling book and will be tested each Wednesday.
In addition, it is really helpful if children know how to spell a range of common exception or 'tricky words'. These songs are a fun way of helping your child remember the common spellings they will use regularly in their writing.
When learning spellings, we use a wide range of strategies and games. One of our favourites is to write on each other’s backs for then to guess which word was written!
