 TOP TIPS!

 Early years phonics workshop (letters and sounds)

We attended a workshop at Chandlers ford infant school and here are some key points to help your children at home;

 Forming letters

• when your child is ready encourage correct pencil grip.
• use only captitals in the correct place i.e. at beginning of names, lower case formation should be encouraged.
• encourage and praise all writing and mark making.

being successful

• encourage talk
• have fun with phonics
• read to and with your child
• encourage mark making and writing
• praise your child 

Phonics

Remember...children need to use letter sounds not names to decode words.

• Read lots even when out and about e.g. shop names, road signs
• singing
• play sound games
• story telling
• i spy games
• talk, talk and more talk

REMEMBER HAVE FUN!
