Learning goals
- 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 read decodable and authentic texts fluently using phonic knowledge and to monitor meaning using context and grammar.
- We are learning to read decodable and predictable texts fluently and use strategies to make meaning.
- We are learning to use vowel sounds, consonant digraphs and blends when writing and reading single syllable words.
