Phonics:
Phonics is one of the most important lessons we teach in Nightingale Class. It allows the children to become independent readers and writers and they love learning the new sounds! If you would like to turn the tables and invite your children to become your phonic teachers, here are the links to the sound cards we use in school - set 1, set 2&3.

Please click here to learn more about Unlocking Letters & Sounds and click here for examples of the sounds.

Don't forget that there are loads of games on Phonics Play to help you learn and revise these sounds!
