Once your child knows the letters in groups 1, 2 and 3 of
this phonics programme we can blend these letters to
form simple words.
With blending, the first sound needs to be said louder
than the other sounds.
Parents should make the sounds in the word on the slide
first e.g. /g/ /o/ /t/ and then say the complete word.
Encourage your child to repeat what you have just done.
They can then click on the speaker to see if they have
read the word correctly. Praise, Praise, Praise.
Children will need plenty of practice before they have
fully mastered the skill of blending.
