Phonic sounds we use in class
Practice these as often as possible so that your child becomes really familiar with them, say the sound, then the rhyme, then the sound again.

HIGH FREQUENCY & TRICKY WORD LISTS FOR SIGHT READING
The best way to help your children learn these is to write them down on bits of card to make a flashcard and then practise showing them everyday until your child recognises them. Start with 5 adding 5 more new words each week or go at your child's pace.
Play games with the cards like hide and seek - hide the cards round the room - your child finds one then
reads it to you before they win the point
