Phase 3 Games

Please visit the 3 website linked below and play these games with your child.  If they are not sure how to play or they need support let them watch you play first.  When they then have a turn we praise the effort they put in, regardless if they have got everything right.  With practice and by having fun your child will be able to develop their phonological awareness.
