Phonics
In Phonics this week, we have been learning the sounds /a/ /e/ /i/ /u/ /sh/ and /ck/ in more complex words (CCVCC words) such as drank, slump, spent, shop and sock etc. Please feel free to continue to practice these with your child by building the words together and then using them in a sentence.
Can you find all the words with the /sh/ sound in this text? At the fish shop
