Phonics
In the classroom this year we will primarily be using the synthetic phonics programme READ AND WRITE INC. by Ruth Miskin. Below, I have uploaded images and rhymes that go with each sound so that you know what your child is talking about when they say "Maisie, mountain, mountain" or "Down the pirates plait and around his face". We will also be singing the "Jolly Phonics" songs for the sounds we learn. Click here to view them.
