Phonics

Usually we would start learning sounds in Nursery. To help we would like you to use the link to practice phonic sounds everyday. Each day will be a new video which talks about a

new sound. You even get the chance to blend the sounds together to create a word!

Set 1 Speed Sounds - This focuses on the sound of the

day to focus on.
