Wacky Wednesday by Dr Seuss is great fun for children - but how many real and nonsense words can they make from the letters in Wednesday?

High frequency or sight words are the words that appear the most often in written text. They need to be practised frequently. Repetition can be dull, so make it a game to keep it fun and interesting. 

This fun scavenger hunt focuses on the initial phonetic sound of common words. Children will have fun hunting around the house for items!

Double consonants can be very tricky to master. It is easy for children to forget that there are double letters as they only hear one sound. Use household items to spot double letters hiding in 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.

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.
