Phonics

For today’s home learning task, I would like you to practise the alternative /s/ which makes a /zsh/ sound. This sound is often used for words with 'sion' or 'sure' endings. This sound can be found in the words; treasure, usually and television.

For today’s activity, play the activity ‘whispering reading walk’ using the flashcards in the PDF.

Whispering reading walk

Get an adult to hide the flashcards around your house (write them down on a separate piece of paper if you do not have a printer). Go and find the flashcards and read them aloud in a whisper. How many words can you say?

Challenge: Once you have completed the activity, try writing as many of the words down as you can. How many did you write correctly?
