Write the words from 'Blend to Read' (below) on 📄 blank flashcards.
Phonics - Quick Fire
Quick recognition of sounds.
Phonics - New Learning

Show your student the flashcard and teach them the sound.
Phonics - Blend to Read
went (4) | well (3) | wish (3) | sweep (4)
Phonics - Split to Spell
wit (3) | wet (3) | west (4) | swim (4)
Phonics - Extra Support
Blending to read: ask your student to say the sounds slowly and allow them to blend together. Then they can say them faster until they can hear the word.
Splitting to spell: on the whiteboard, give your student only the sounds they need to write the word. This means they just need to order them and write them into the Sound Beds.
Phonics - Extra Challenge
swell (4) | swift (5) | twist (5)
Phonics - Apply
Write this caption on the mini whiteboard: I will sweep up the twigs. Then ask your student to read the caption.
If your student finds caption reading easy, rather than you writing the caption, you can say the caption and they can write it on the whiteboard.
Phonics Play
Log in to Phonics Play. Today your student will be reading 'The Bug' comic below.

Reading & Writing - Introduction
Tell your student that today they will be making their reading sound exciting. Remind them of how they made their reading so
und like that of ‘a real storyteller’ in the last lesson by saying words in groups. Tell them that they will practise this with The Little Red Hen.
Go to page 3 of 📊 The Little Red HenPowerPoint.
Ask your student, ‘What does the bull say when the hen asks for help?’ ‘Not I!’
Ask your student, ‘Can you say this like the bull would say it?’
Model saying, ‘*Not I!’*with a clear voice, letting the words flow into one another.
Your student may want to also change their voice to sound more like the bull.
Move through the pages asking what the cat and the rat say and helping your student to repeat the phrases with in a clear, expressive voice.
On page 6, ask your student to say the words, ‘Oh, very well, I’ll do it myself.’ as the hen would.
Reading & Writing - Main Activity
Read the story together, asking your student to read the phrases, ‘Not I!’ and ‘Oh, very well, I’ll do it myself.’
Reading & Writing - Extra Support
If your student needs extra support, model the reading and ask them to copy you. Say, ‘Can you do it even better than I can?’
Reading & Writing - Extra Challenge
Ask your student to choose their favourite story of those read so far and to read it to you, making the reading sound exciting.
Reading & Writing - What to Notice
Remember to praise your student when they read the words in groups/phrases and when they use their voice to make the reading sound interesting or exciting.
