Phonics
For today’s home learning task, I would like you to practise the alternative /a/ which makes an /ar/ sound. This sound is more commonly used by people who live in the south of England and can be found in the words ‘path’ and ‘grass’.
Circle the words below that use the alternative /a/ that sounds like /ar/, cross out the words that do not use this sound.
Now write a sentence using one of the alternative /a/ words above.
Challenge: How many of the alternative /a/ words can you include in a sentence? Draw a picture to go alongside your sentence.
