Level 2 Phonics- Pure Sounds and Actions

Please find below the video (link) for the Level 2 pure sounds and actions which Reception children are currently learning. Please note the pronunciation of the sounds, as they may sound different to how you say them at home. It is really important that children use ‘pure’ sounds when sounding out.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me: fireflies@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk.

Many thanks,

Phonics

Our phonics teaching throughout the school follows the DfE accredited ‘Twinkl’ scheme of synthetic phonics. Click below to find out how to help your child with pronouncing letter sounds correctly:

How to Say the Letter Sounds.

Our early readers books are phonic based to reinforce the sounds the children have learnt in school. The ‘Twinkl’ books are based on current phonics knowledge and are used to support fluency in reading. We also include a range of published schemed books (Oxford Reading Tree, Project X, Collins Big Cat, Ginn, Story Chest and Phonics Bug). We ask you to read the ‘Twinkl’ book before moving onto the other books. Children have regular guided reading sessions in their class to build on early reading comprehension and phonics skills. Reading daily at home has a significant impact on your child’s progress in reading.
