Children in Reception are using the letter sounds they have learned in their spellings.

At home, children should be practicing reading, saying and writing these sounds, and making two and three letter words with them, spelling by ‘sounding out’.

For example children have been learning the sounds s, a, t, i and n, and so could make the words sat, in & at.

Every week, new letter sounds will be sent home to add to those already known.

Children will also have four or five common words to learn to spell at home each week too.

If you have any questions, please ask Mrs Johnson.

Thank you.
