Please check in your child's reading folder as they have a summary of their most recent phonics assessment. 

We have found that many children are finding the tricky 'red' words hard to recall. These are in the front of the reading books and are non-phonetically decodable words. We teach these as captial letter names eg. O-U-R = our. Many children know the words when an adults says the letter names but are struggling to do this independently. 

The tricky words to focus upon are: is, the, I, of, to, are, was, all, you, said, like, our, to, no, go.
