Our Crucial Knowledge in Phonics
We remember our crucial knowledge every day at school.
It helps us to remember the things we need to know.
Games
The sounds we know...
In your book bags you have a selection of cards, please practise these at home. We need to know them off by heart, so a quick 5 minutes each day will really help them to stick in our heads.
You can also use them to make new words. If you start with s,a,t,p,i,n then you can make words like: sat, pin. pat, tap, tip, tins, past, snip, naps.
