RWI- Mrs Hammond

Your child will be supported by Mrs Hammond. They know all Set 1 sounds speedily. They are able to Fred Talk most words and are now able to use the same skills to read alien/nonsense words. Lessons involve reviewing Set 1 Sounds and vocabulary. They also learn to read more words containing Special Friends and words that contain 4+ sounds.
 
The children are now reading the Red Ditty Books and will bring home a reading book weekly so they can practise.
 
In Reception the lesson format follows the format for the previous Ditty Group because the lesson is shorter.
 
To support your child at home:
- read regularly with your child so they become fluent and speedy
-encourage your child to say a short sentence aloud and then write it down. E.g. I can hop or I can see a dog.
-Make up some nonsense/alien words for your child to read. Although they are made up words, the process of reading remains the same. E.g. thop, nosk
