decoding is critical because It serves as a springboard for further reading lessons. Students' reading fluency, vocabulary, and understanding will all suffer if they struggle with decoding.

We're big believers that phonics can be FUN - in the classroom or at home! If you're a parent who wants your little learner to practice their phonics at home (without giving them extra homework) try these fun, easy and quick games.

This one may require you to move your kitchen table out the way...

Put magnetic letters (find your Letterland ones ) in a bowl on the other side of your kitchen to the fridge (or in the other room if you really want to tire out your little learner).

The 'race' to the fridge will keep your little learner interested in this educational game!

This one is super simple and also works well if you have more than one child.

First, create a grid on a piece of paper, and write down various letters/spelling patterns (dependent on what level of phonics is suitable for your child).

Next, take out a pack of flashcards (try the First Reading Flashcards for just Aa-Zz or our Letter Sound Cards for a-z, digraphs and trigraphs) and mix them up.

Pull out a card at random and say the letter/spelling sound out loud - if your child has the correct sound written down, they can cross it off. Once they've crossed off everything, get them to shout 'BINGO!'.

Some sounds have more than one spelling (e.g. 'c' and 'k' or 'y' and 'ie') so your little learners will get double points if they have both!

This game will help your child make the connection between letter sounds and shapes in a quick and enjoyable way. A super simple way to practice phonics for a few minutes every day!

This game can be done at home, in the car, on the walk to school - anywhere!

Begin by letting your child be the 'guesser'. Say to them, for example, "I live near a farm and a forest and I like to go fishing every Friday at f ive o'clock. Who am I?".

Move on by switching roles, so that your child makes you guess which Letterlander they are talking about.

This provides a great opportunity for some phonics fun that will help your child improve their speaking and listening skills.

Practice Sessions for Fluency at Home
Reading Fluency gives kids the chance to read books that are just right for them. This site is for parents who want to learn more about helping their children become better readers. Having books available to kids that they can read independently is crucial. Parents may help their child develop a love of reading by working together to make a book they can read again and again with pride. Parents may help their children with learning challenges by reading aloud to them and encouraging them to mimic their tone and expressions while they do so. Children who have learning impairments should be exposed to more guided reading.

Teaching Reading Fluency
Teachers can use these reading tactics with any book they deem suitable for their students' age group. Because they are reading the same chapter over and over again, children who practice fluency via repeated reading benefit greatly. Students can make better word connections and read more quickly with the use of assisted reading. I plan to advocate for the adoption of such methods by educators for use in the classroom.

Teaching your 4-year-old to play basic word games is a great way to introduce him to the concept that words are made up of phonograms and can be deconstructed. Your youngster may practice listening for the first sound of words and "guessing your word" by mixing the remaining sounds together with this activity.
What a Nemours Reading Bright Start!
