Phonics Lesson Videos for Home 

In school, we use a programme called Letters and Sounds to teach phonics. 

To help support children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 with their return to school after the closure, Letters and Sounds have released phonics lessons for free for parents and children to access at home. 

All the lessons are taught by experienced teachers in just the same way as the children are taught in school. Parents are not expected to be teachers. The lessons are all fully interactive and the children can join in with the teacher on screen. 

These are an invaluable resource that can be used at home for extra practice to reinforce and build confidence in what the children are learning at school. 

There are lessons for Reception (Phase 2 Phonics), Year 1 (Phase 3 Phonics) and Year 2 (Phase 5 Phonics) but the children in Year 1 and Year 2 are also able to use the Reception lessons to consolidate Phase 2 before moving on.  

The lessons do not need to be completed on the date given. They can be done at anytime and can be repeated as often as needed but they do need to be completed in the order given on the list. 

A series called Learning to Blend is beginning on 2^nd November to support children who may know which sounds the letter(s) make but they find it difficult to blend those sounds together to make a word. 

To access all these lessons, go to the Letters and Sounds website.
