Help your child to read and write - Part 2

teach word building from cvc to cvcc using damp as a model; reinforce phoneme isolation, blending, and writing practice with guided, monitored steps to solidify sound-to-spelling connections.

Correcting errors turns mistakes into learning opportunities in the Sounds-Write programme, guiding children to build 'damp' by clearly sounding /d/ /a/ /m/ /p/, reading, and spelling it.

Teach word reading with CVCC words in Unit 8 using continuants, finger gestures, controlled pace, and writing to reinforce sound-to-spelling mapping, fostering automaticity.

Practice nonsense word sound swap to master phoneme manipulation, segmenting, and blending, using short five or six word sessions to support reading and writing development.

Engage in a sound swap exercise to practice phoneme manipulation, building and transforming nonsense words from blop to ipt to boost reading and phoneme awareness.

Use dictation as a contextualized spelling exercise that strengthens recall memory, with modeling, gestures, and decodable texts read for meaning to reduce cognitive load.

Guide your child to read sentences by sounding out each word, reading left to right, and rereading for fluency, with decodable readers and explicit high-frequency word support.

Build phonics confidence by practicing Unit 9 words with CCCVC patterns, focusing on blending sounds in 'swam' and stretching continuant consonants to help kids hear each sound clearly.

Demonstrates word building and error correction with the word crab, emphasizing articulation of /c/ /r/ /a/ /b/ and using gestures and lines to scaffold Sounds-Write CCVC progression and double consonants.

Explore unit 9 with ccvc words that begin with adjacent consonants, using slip to show how continuants aid reading and how scaffolding with two continuants sets up success.

Explore error correction in word reading by identifying missed sounds, using lines to write each sound, and practicing sound-by-sound reading of 'stop' for accurate decoding.

Explore five-sound word building with CCVCC words like 'swift' and 'frost', using stretching of continuants, sound spellings, dictation, and writing practice to reinforce reading and spelling.

Use targeted error correction to help children read and spell a five-sound word like frost by stretching the sounds, isolating each sound, and using finger-guided blending before writing.

Unit 11 teaches two-letter spellings for sounds like /sh/ and /ch/, guiding blending and segmentation and the progression from three-sound to four-sound words.

Apply word-building strategies to correct errors by using lines as visual cues, practicing digraphs like /sh/ and blending sounds /f/ /i/ /sh/ to read and write fish.

Learn how to teach the two-letter combination q and u as separate sounds and explore how English spelling encodes sounds in multiple ways, with examples from quit and queen.

Conclude the Sounds-Write course by reinforcing segmenting, blending, and phoneme manipulation with consonant clusters, and note that sounds can be spelled with one or two letters.

A teacher leads a whole-class dictation with 5-6 year-olds, reading the song thrush and guiding students to listen and write one sentence at a time, focusing on beginning of sentences.
