Revise all of your phase 3 letters and sounds flash cards and then watch Mr Thorne does phonics for your selected sound.

For today’s activity select 3 sounds from your flash cards and display them for your child to see. Tell them that you are going to challenge them today to write words that contain these sounds. Each time they write the word correctly they get a point but if they misspell it then you get the point. The first to get 5 points wins.

Say a word to your child that contains one of your chosen sounds and ask them to segment it for spelling before writing the word. You can ask them which of the sounds you displayed they think is in the word to support them with the writing of the sound. Repeat with other words.
