Practising phonics and blending is key to developing strong reading and writing skills. Phonics helps children understand the sounds of letters and special friends while blending teaches them how to join these sounds together to read words. By focusing on these skills early on, children build the foundation for fluent reading, better spelling, and a greater love of books. Regular practice with phonics also boosts confidence and communication, helping children make sense of the world around them through language.

This Christmas, our Reception children are loving all the Christmas activities! especially the mud kitchen, creating festive treats and exploring the outdoors. Whether they’re mixing “Christmas cakes” or pretending to cook a festive

Practising phonics at home helps reinforce what the children are learning in school. It supports their ability to blend sounds together, read new words, and improve their spelling skills. By reviewing phonics regularly, children gain more confidence in their reading and writing, making learning fun and successful. Even just a few minutes a day can make a big difference! Thank you for supporting your child's learning journey at home.
