Literacy- Tricky Words
This week, we ask if you would please focus on these tricky words:
Here are some games you can choose from to play with your child to aid with the revision of the tricky words:
- Tricky Words Scavenger Hunt– Write the above tricky words on a sheet of paper. You could then write a few of these words on smaller pieces of paper and hide them in a room in the house. Call out one of the words from your sheet of paper. Your child can go and search for it. When your child finds the word they colour the matching word on your sheet.
- Tricky Words Bingo– You could print the bingo page. If you do not have a printer you can draw 6 boxes on a page and write a word in each box. Call out a word for your child. They need to find the word on the page and colour it in.

Phonics- Revision of letter “p”
After watching the ‘Story of P’ video, look at the pictures on the worksheet below and say them out loud. Only colour the pictures that start with the p-p-p sound.
Try some of these games!

Mystery Bag
Place three objects within a bag—like a ball, bug and button for the letter “b”. Have your child name each item, and guess the “mystery letter” that unites all of the objects. We suggest you use the letters we have been revising: s/a/t/i/p, but change this game up as you wish!

Say two words
This game requires zero materials and can be played outside in the sunshine! When you say two words that begin with the same sound e.g please/pony, they should stand up as fast as they can, but stay seated if the words do not begin with the same sound e.g astronaut/tiger. We like to change it up by incorporating a dance move or another action like jumping or spinning instead of just standing or sitting!
