Test Thursday 09.02.2023

Next week in phonics, the children will be recapping the ‘air’ sound family (air, ear, ere, are, eir)

Please help your child to practise when best to use each different spelling (grapheme) of the ‘air’ sound.

- ere – Most common.

The children have 8 spellings to learn this week linked to the sound family. Also, they will have 2 spellings that are homophones, where the words sound similar but are spelt differently. A good way to learn them is to practise them in sentences. (Berry is a noun and is something that appears on trees and bushes and are eaten by birds. Eg,. The birds ate all the berries on the tree. Bury is a verb and is what you do when you put something in a hole in the sand and then cover it up. Eg,. The child buried his shoe in the sand.).
