Here you will find all the information you will in order to support you child at home. As we start our journey through the jolly phonics program, I can not stress enough the importance of not moving ahead of the class. I strongly recommend to use this site only to support them with the sounds we are practicing at school.
Children will be bringing home a sound book as well as a folder of work sheets, this will show you which sounds have already been completed. We will start a new sound twice a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. |
