Learning goals
- We are learning to use sounds in spoken words, adding, deleting and subtracting initial, medial and final phonemes (sounds) to build new words (phonological awareness).
- We are learning to understand that a letter can represent more than one sound, e.g. cat, swan, ball, fast etc. and that a syllable must contain a vowel sound.
- We are learning to use vowel sounds, consonant blends and digraphs when writing and reading one- and two-syllable words.
- We are learning to use sounds in spoken words, adding, deleting and subtracting initial, medial and final sounds to build new words.
- We are learning to use vowel sounds, consonant digraphs and blends when writing and reading single syllable words.
