Learning Through Play & Resources 

As a guide, choose two 'Learning Through Play' activities each day, alongside the daily Phonics and Maths tasks. Daily learning should also include name writing and/or handwriting, reading (including adult read stories) and outdoor learning (see suggestions in the resources below).

Use the video with Miss Skoll below to check how many taught phonemes you can remember. Get an adult to note any sounds you get really stuck on. Re-cap on any unknown sounds using some of the suggested activities and resources below.

-Phoneme hunt - hide unknown phonemes around the house for children to find and recall. 

-Fastest finger - write unknown phonemes on piece of paper or cake cases (see pictures below). Call out sounds and see how quickly your child can zap them with their finger, spatula or by placing items in the cake case.

-Watch Geraldine the Giraffe and see if you can have a go at finding initial sound objects in your home.

-Play a phonics board game or make your own! (Examples below)

**Challenge**

If your child is confident in all their sounds, adapt the activities to include simple words to support confidence in word reading.
