Following on from the above, here is today’s session that has a reading focus.

This video is based on a presentation from Twinkl.

Sentence Writing

Today’s sentence should be “A red and black moth.”. Please ask the children to remind you of the three things we need for a sentence – a capital letter, finger spaces and a full stop.

Ideas for a phonically decodable extra sentence the children could attempt to write with support from you and their sound mats are:

The moth is on the flower.

A purple flower and a moth.

Maths
