We follow the 'Letters and Sounds' scheme for phonics at Ogmore Vale, and in the Nursery we concentrate on Phase 1. Phase 1 is an important stage and one that can not be rushed. We are currently working on Aspect 1 - General Sound discrimination. Children won't be able to hear the differences in letter sounds unless they can differentiate between general sounds e.g a loud car is a different sound to a leaf rustling, a long sound is different to a short sound.

Half Term Homework
Over half term, go on a listening walk and stop and listen to all the sounds you can hear. Is it a loud sound or a quiet sound? is it a long sound or a short sound?
Try some of the suggested activities on the attached document.
