Beech Class – Phonics Homework1 st March 2019

This week we have been doing some phonics assessments in class. Your child may have brought home books of a different reading band but this is to support

the learning of certain sounds which may need more work on, for example in phase 5 there a split digraphs such as a-e in words like game and snake or e-e in

words like theme and Steve.Developing our phonological knowledge and understanding of vocabulary is

extremely important to our progress.In order to thrive, children need an understanding of 50,000 words! To be able to

reading.On the other side of this sheet are some high frequency words for you to practise

reading.
