From an early age, the skill of inferring and making connections with the reading information is crucial. When reading with your children, use the recommended discussion topics to improve reading comprehension. 

In the early years it is important to introduce children to both uppercase and lowercase letters. This simple matching game will help children to recognise the shapes of the uppercase and lowercase letters. 

Consonant blends appear at the beginning of words and consist of 2 consonants whose phonetic sounds blend together to create one sound. Teaching consonant blends can be tricky!

Looking for ways to make spelling easier for kids? Chunking or segmenting is a useful spelling strategy which will help them remember how to spell longer words.

Practising initial phonics sounds should be a fun and engaging experience. Finding real life objects around the house is a great way to explore initial sounds.

This game helps children learn how to use letters to build words by experimenting with their sounds.
