Phonics
Play a game of quickwrite. How many digraphs and trigraphs can you write in one minute? Make sure to set yourself a timer. Practise this daily and see if you improve. You can also play this game with tricky words.
Play a game of pictionary. Adults can draw something and you have to write the word as quickly as possible on your own piece of paper. Can you guess the picture before your grown-up finishes drawing? Choose your own pictures to draw or choose from the list below;
chair, bee, snail, boat, duck, star, thorn, hair, beard, cat, pig, car
Remember that you have the phonics basic code in the back of your reading diary if you need it to find sounds.
