Alien words practise

Any special friends? Fred talk!

Alien words are often also called nonsense words and are words made up of sounds the children have already been taught. Alien words are included in the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check, a test completed by all Year 1 children in June each year, as a way of assessing their ability to blend sounds into words. All year 1 children have been sent home with alien words to practise over the next 2 weeks. Please practise as much as you can and remember to look for your special friends! :)
