Mrs Gaied’s Group:

They are learning to read ditties.  Ditties are sheets with simple sentences on.  The children know all of their Set 1 ‘special friends’ sounds, sounds that have 2 letters that make 1 sound.  They are practising reading and writing with these sounds.

-Speed Minute Special Friends 2 – If your child does not know a sound on this video please practice the sound.  You will find the videos at the bottom of this document. https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/KuluzSnS/dWe2VoEg

Miss Kelly/Mrs Millington’s Group:

The children will be reading the first set of RWI books.  The books are called red books and each book contains 3 short ‘ditties’.  Children will also be reading words that can not be sounded out with Fred Talk – red words.  You can see how we teach these on the clip below.  There is a page at the back of the book with speedy words, these are words we read every day and aim to eventually recognise within 2 seconds. 

Please bring their wallets in every day as we will swap the books when your child has read each ditty.

Children will read and write words with their Set 1 sounds: th, sh, ch, ng, nk, qu, ck.   We learn to read longer words before we learn new sounds, so we will read words with 3, 4 and 5 sounds in them.

The children are focusing on the sounds:

nk: https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/9eEn58WC/lRO6eJtN

ng: https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/YVPIBFbu/GEjROl3b
