Learning to read
0 ‘Look
and say’ Working with the words over
and over again until children just ‘know them’.
0 Phonics Using the sounds of the alphabet to ‘sound
out’ words.
0 Children learn in different ways and at different rates
but it is important that they have exposure to lots of
books and reading so their reading skills can develop.
Phonics
0 How you can help your child…
Say the sounds correctly, don’t add any ‘errrrrrs’ on the end
of sounds as this will confuse children when they start to put
sounds together.
We teach ‘Jolly Phonics’, resources are available online or
from Early Learning Centre.

0 CVC words…consonant/vowel/ consonant
0 Cat
0 Mum
0 Yes
Difficulties when reading
0 Making a mistake- ‘let’s go back and have another
look at that’ Give them a choice, does that say ‘was’ or
‘saw’.
0 Getting stuck- sound it out, given them some
thinking time but don’t be afraid to tell them the
word!
0 Children can sound out but still can’t read the
word- keep going, be patient!
0 Reluctant readers- find a quiet time, find what they
love to read, Argos catalogue, books about tractors,
reward them! Talk them all the time about how
important reading is.
