Task 1 – Matching Pairs!

1. Go through phase 2 and 3 sounds with your child, note down any sounds they are unsure of

2. Write these sounds on paper and then duplicate them so you have two sets of the sounds.

3. Lay the sounds out faced up allowing your child to see briefly where the sounds are placed. Then after 5-10 seconds turn all the pieces of paper over so the sounds are hidden.

4. Once hidden allow your child to turn over one piece of paper and get them sounds out the what they see.

5. Once they have correctly identified the sound allow them to pick another piece of paper and see if the sounds are the same.

6. If your child says the sound correctly and finds its matching pair remove it and keep going until all of the pieces are collected.

7. This is a game that can be played with more players so involving yourself in the game or siblings can make the games more competitive.

You can play this game with tricky words instead of sounds as well to vary the activity for your child.

Task 2 – Quick write!

1. Give your child a pen and a piece of paper

2. Explain to them that you are going to say a word and they have to write it down. Encourage your child to sound it out, example s-ai-l. What initial sound can they hear? s

6. Once the timer has ran out get your child to come back with their bowl and get them to identify what they have found, making sure they have found item with the chosen sounds.

7. For an extra challenge, ask you child to write don what they have found. Help them where necessary but allow them to take their time and write a list of what they found.

Task 4 – Syllable star jump!

1. This activity is to encourage your child to understand syllables and how many are in a word.

2. Firstly make a list of 1,2,3 syllable words for your child, roughly 5-10 of each. You can pick a theme for the words or something they are interested in. (animals, numbers, colours etc.)

3. Read out one words at a time and ask your child to star jump for each syllable they hear. For example the word ‘happy’ is 2 syllables ‘ha’ ‘ppy’ so you encourage your child to star jump for each syllable.

If your child is confident in there syllables, you can make this activity more challenging by introducing 4 and even 5 syllable words!

Task 5 – Tricky word splat!

1. Write the tricky words on individual pieces of paper and lay them on the ground facing up.

2. Start with phase 2 tricky words and when your child is confident in them, introduce phase 3 tricky words to the activity

3. Read out on tricky word at a time and allow your child to find it and splat it!

4. Repeat this until you have mentioned all the tricky words you have laid out.

If you don’t have a splatter, shown in the picture, you can use something similar in your house to splat those words and if not just encourage your child to use their hand.
