Primary 1 & 2 Literacy

1st February 2021

Today we have a new sound –

This sound is not found very often at the beginning of words! So today, most of the words

have the ‘x’ at the end!You can watch Geraldine learning the new ‘x’ sound by clicking

You can watch the ‘alphablocks’ introducing ‘x’ and doing some ‘word magic’ by clicking on this link!
