The children have been introduced to 'Tricky words' this week. This week we have learned the words 'the', 'to', 'I', 'he'. Tricky words are words that cannot be blended/ sounded out. They're common words that the children just have to learn by sight, and frequent repetition. This isn't necessarily homework, we'll be sending word lists home later on in the year. However, if you would like to point the words out whilst out and about/ at home if you come across them, that would definitely be beneficial! We will be learning a few new words each week.
In class we have also started to blend simple CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant words). Last week we focused on -at words e.g. mat, bat, cat etc. This week it's -an words e.g. pan, man, fan etc. The website www.starfall.com has some good games if you'd like to practice!
