More Sounds: g o c k e u r h b f l

Goal: Learn the next set of letter sounds and read more words with them.

For parents: c and k make the same sound — that is fine to tell them. Keep reading real words every day; sounds on their own soon feel pointless.

Do together

  1. Sound snap

    You need: Letter cards and picture cards

    Turn over a letter and a picture at the same time. If the picture starts with that sound, the first to shout 'snap!' wins the pair.

  2. Fishing for words

    You need: Paper fish with words written on them, a paper clip on each, a magnet on a string

    Catch a fish and read the word (hot, bug, red, fun, leg). Keep the fish if you read it.

  3. Word of the day on the door

    You need: Paper and tape

    Stick a short word on the bedroom door. Your child reads it every time they go in. Change it each morning.
