Letters and Sounds link for parents

Hello!

Although we follow Read Write Inc in school, the Letters and Sounds programme is a very good phonics programme issued by the DFE and is one that underpins a lot of the phonics activities in schools across the country. 

 

Here is some information, which you may find useful, about Letters and sounds sessions that are running from Monday:

 

We are pleased to announce, from Monday 27th April, schools and parents will be able to access daily online Letters and Sounds lessons for their children at Letters and Sounds for home and school. The lessons have been carefully written and presented by L&S experts and have been quality assured by our Hub Council. This resource is for use by teachers and parents who will find planning and teaching phonics challenging, during the school closure. The lessons are funded and approved by the DFE. All lessons are introduced by celebrities, including children's TV presenters, which children and parents should recognise and adds an exciting element to this new resource. 

 

The lessons follow the DFE's Letters and Sounds (L&S) programme and are designed to cover new teaching that children would have received over the summer term had they been in school. Three sets of lessons will be available. One set for Reception and a set for Year 1, based on where children are expected to be in their learning in the summer term. A third set of lessons aims to reach the lowest 20% of children; focussing on areas children find the most challenging. For parents, a guidance film to explain the basics of Phonics and how parents can support their child is also available. 

 

During the summer term, a new lesson will be uploaded to YouTube everyday Monday to Friday at the times below. *After upload, each lesson will then be available to watch at any time during the summer term.
