Monday
Recap all the sounds and words learnt so far using the power points attached or phonics play.
Really concentrate this week on reading the high frequency words. Watch a video of how Mrs Burrough would teach 5 words at a time. It is really helpful for your child if the high frequency words can be read by sight without having to be sounded out. Choose five that your child doesn’t know so well and try to teach those like Mrs Burrough has shown in the video. Once your child is confident with those five, choose the next five. If five words are too much try three.
Watch Geraldine the giraffe long oo video. Find the Bug Club lesson oo and follow the lesson. As well as practising reading and writing the words in the lesson practise spelling the words too, zoom, cool, boot. You can talk to your child about the difference between the word to and the word too. The word ‘to’ is directional, going to a place for example, ‘I am going to the park.’ Whereas the word ‘too’ is about quantity, being greater than something. For example, ‘My porridge is too cold/hot.’
Play Buried Treasure on Phonics Play using the long oo phoneme (sound).
Write the sentence, ‘The boot is too cool.’
Watch Mrs Burrough to see how she would teach how to write the sentence.
