This week we have 2 main activities that you can spread out over the week.

Investigating Alternative Spellings: /ear/

Spend 2 or 3 days working on the Phonemes Spotter and Word Sort games.

See if you can find other examples in books.

See if you can put some into sentences.

Looking at words - Compound Words

Compound words are words that are made up of 2 words e.g. milkman, football.

On Phonics Play is the game called Compound Word Splat.

Click on the Resources tab, then Phase 5.

Scroll right the way down and you will see it there. Once you click on the tab you can read
