Learning to read with phonics

If you live in England, your child will learn to read using phonics. Their school is very likely to use either the Letters and Sounds phonics framework or the Read Write Inc. programme. Check with your school if you're not sure which one they use.

Using Letters and Sounds?

If your child is using Letters and Sounds, you can find this list of eBooks by Letters and Sounds Phases useful. Bear in mind the following:

If you don't know your child's Phase, you can check with your school. As a guide, most Reception children will be on Phases 1-4 and most Year 1 children will be on Phases 4-5. Beyond Phase 5, your child will be able to decode most books.

In Letters and Sounds, there are 'sets' within the Phases - so your child might not know all the sounds in every book within their Phase.

Some series contain occasional 'tricky words' that your child can't decode using phonics. Use the inside front cover notes to teach your child these words before they start the book.

Find out more about Letters and Sounds >

Using Read Write Inc. Phonics?
If your child is being taught to read using the Read Write Inc. programme, you can find books suitable for them by clicking on the 'Levels' menu below and using the 'Read Write Inc.' filter to select the right level.

Supporting Kids During the Coronavirus Crisis

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As the coronavirus crisis continues, parents everywhere are struggling to keep children healthy and occupied. If you're anxious about how to protect and nurture your kids through this - often juggling work obligations at the same time - you're in good (virtual) company.

Here are tips from the Child Mind Institute's clinicians to help calm fears, manage stress and keep the peace.

The experts all agree that setting and sticking to a regular schedule is key, even when you're all at home all day. But as the crisis continues and the days get warmer (and longer, sigh) that schedule will naturally become a bit looser. Still, keeping some structure is important. Whenever possible, try to make sure kids still have some structure - for example, getting up, eating and going to bed around the same time every day. Consistency and structure are calming during times of stress. Kids, especially younger ones or those who are anxious, benefit from knowing what's going to happen and when.

The schedule can mimic a school or day camp schedule, changing activities at predictable intervals and alternating periods of study and play.

It may help to print out a schedule and go over it as a family each morning. Setting a timer will help kids know when activities are about to begin or end. Having regular reminders will help head off meltdowns when it's time to transition from one thing to the next.

Incorporate new activities into your routine, like doing a puzzle or having family game time in the evening. For example, my family is baking our way through a favorite dessert cookbook together with my daughter as sous chef.

Build in activities that help everyone get some exercise, safely, especially now that some restrictions are being relaxed. For example, going to the park without contact with other kids or things touched by other kids, like playground equipment. Take a daily family walk or bike ride or do yoga - great ways to let kids burn off energy and make sure everyone is staying active.

David Anderson, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the Child Mind Institute, recommends brainstorming ways to go "back to the 80s," before the time of screen prevalence. "I've been asking parents to think about their favorite activities at summer camp or at home before screens," he says. "They often then generate lists of arts and crafts activities, science projects, imaginary games, musical activities, board games, household projects, etc."

It's completely understandable to be anxious right now (how could we not be?) but how we manage that anxiety has a big impact on our kids. Keeping your worries in check will help your whole family navigate this uncertain situation as easily as possible.

"Watch out for catastrophic thinking," says Mark Reinecke, PhD, a clinical psychologist. For example, assuming every cough is a sign you've been infected, or reading news stories that dwell on worst-case scenarios. "Keep a sense of perspective, engage in solution-focused thinking and balance this with mindful acceptance."

For those moments when you do catch yourself feeling anxious, try to avoid talking about your concerns within earshot of children. If you're feeling overwhelmed, step away and take a break. That could look like taking a shower or going outside or into another room and taking a few deep breaths.

Staying informed is important, but it's a good idea to limit consumption of news and social media that has the potential to feed your anxiety, and that of your kids. Turn the TV off and mute or unfollow friends or co-workers who are prone to sharing panic-inducing posts.

Take a social media hiatus or make a point of following accounts that share content that take your mind off the crisis, whether it's about nature, art, baking or crafts.

Keep your support network strong, even when you're only able to call or text friends and family. Socializing plays an important role in regulating your mood and helping you stay grounded. And the same is true for your children.

Let kids use social media (within reason) and Skype or FaceTime to stay connected to peers even if they aren't usually allowed to do so. Communication can help kids feel less alone and mitigate some of the stress that comes from being away from friends.

Technology can also help younger kids feel closer to relatives or friends they can't see at the moment. My parents video chat with their granddaughter every night and read her a (digital) bedtime story. It's not perfect, but it helps us all feel closer and less stressed.

In the face of events that are scary and largely out of our control, it's important to be proactive about what you can control. Making plans helps you visualize the near future. How can your kids have virtual play dates? What can your family do that would be fun outside? What are favorite foods you can cook during this time? If your area is starting to reopen, you could come up with safe ideas for family activities, like getting take-out from your favorite restaurant or going on a socially distant bike ride with friends. Seeing you problem-solve in response to this crisis can be instructive and reassuring for kids.

Even better, assign kids tasks, like picking the restaurant you're going to order from, that will help them feel that they are part of the plan and making a valuable contribution to the family.

"Talking to children in a clear, reasonable way about what's going on is the best way to help them understand," says Rachel Busman, PsyD, a clinical psychologist. "But remember kids don't need to know every little thing." Unless kids ask specifically, there's no reason to volunteer information that might worry them.

For example, our two-year-old daughter Alice is used to seeing her grandparents regularly, but right now we're keeping our distance to make sure everyone stays safe. When she asks about them we say: "We won't see Grandma and Grandpa this week but we will see them soon!" We don't say: "We're staying away from Grandma and Grandpa because we could get them sick." Older kids can handle - and expect - more detail, but you should still be thoughtful about what kinds of information you share with them.

Young children may be oblivious to the facts of the situation, but they may still feel unsettled by the changes in routine, or pick up on the fact that people around them are worried and upset. Plan to check in with younger children periodically and give them the chance to process any worries they may be having. Children who are tantruming more than usual, being defiant or acting out may actually be feeling anxious. Pick a calm, undistracted time and gently ask how they're feeling and make sure to respond to outbursts in a calm, consistent, comforting way.

Remember to be reasonable and kind to yourself. We all want to be our best parenting selves as much as we can, but sometimes that best self is the one that says, "Go for it" when a kid asks for more time on the iPad. My daughter is watching Elmo's World - and possibly drawing on the wall - as I write this. That shrill red Muppet is the only reason I'm able to write at all.

"We should forgive ourselves the image of perfection that we normally aspire to as parents," says Dr. Anderson, a parent himself. This is not a normal time, and trying to hold ourselves to pre-COVID standards is likely to backfire. "We can give ourselves license to relax these boundaries a bit. We can explain to our kids that this is a unique situation and re-institute boundaries once more when life returns to normal." Whatever that normal may be.

If you have a partner at home, agree that you'll trade off when it comes to childcare, especially if one or both of you are working from home and have younger children. That way everyone gets a break and some breathing room.

Everyone who can pitch in, should. Give kids age appropriate jobs. For example, teens might be able to help mind younger siblings when both parents have to work. Most children can set the table, help keep communal spaces clean, do dishes or take out the trash. Even toddlers can learn to pick up their own toys. Working as a team will help your whole family stay busy and make sure no one person (Mom) is overwhelmed.

"Be creative and be flexible," says Dr. Busman, "and try not to be hard on yourself. You have to find a balance that works for your family. The goal should be to stay sane and stay safe."

Some great activities for measurement, capacity and weight.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Measurement is the process of assigning a numerical value to a physical quantity. It involves comparing an unknown quantity to a standard unit of measurement to determine its size, length, weight, or other attributes.

In simple words, measurement is a way to find out how big, small, heavy, or long something is. It helps us understand and compare things. We use different measurement tools like rulers, scales, and cups to measure things accurately.

For example, imagine you want to bake some cookies. It is important to measure the ingredients like flour and sugar to make sure you use the right amount. Measurement is like having a special language to describe the size or amount of something so that we can understand and talk about it easily.

What Are the Different Systems of Measurement?

The Metric System: The French First Republic proposed a globally recognized set of units in the year 1799 under a decimal system of measurement. It uses base units like meters, grams, and liters for length, mass, and volume, respectively. The Metric System is widely used around the world.

The SI System: The International System of Units (SI) is considered the modern form of the metric system, designed to provide a more standardized way of measurement across the word.

The Imperial System (The British Imperial System or English System): Formulated by the British Empire, this system has a standard set of units to measure physical quantities and others. It includes units like inches, pounds, and gallons for length, weight, and volume.

The United States Customary System: It is similar to the Imperial System since it is also derived from the traditional English units, but the imperial system and the customary system also have many differences. The customary system is used in the United States (and some of its former colonies). It includes units like feet, ounces, and quarts.

Conversion of Measurement Units

Conversion of measurement units is the process of changing one unit of measurement to another. It allows us to express quantities in different units, such as converting kilometers to meters, inches to centimeters, or pounds to kilograms.

By using conversion factors or formulas, we establish the relationship between the units and accurately convert between them. Converting measurement units helps with comparison, understanding, and effective communication of measurements across different systems or preferences.

Looking for online math learning measurement games? Take a look at the Conversion of Measurement Units Games for in-depth details.

Types of Measurement

Let's discuss some important types of measurement that we use in daily life.

Distance / Length / Height Measurement

Distance is the measurement of space between two points, measured using tools like rulers or measuring tapes.

Height measures how tall an object is, from its base to the top, or from head to toe, using the same units of measurement.

Enjoy these Length Games for Kids Online and master the concept of length measurement!
Units of Measurement of Length
The different units to measure distance as per US / imperial and metric conversions are as follows:

Length Conversion Method

Conversion of metric units of length: This chart shows how to convert between different metric units of length. For example, there are 100 centimeters in one meter, and 1,000 millimeters in one meter. Similarly, there are 1,000 meters in one kilometer.

Conversion of customary units of length: This chart shows how to convert between different customary units of length.

Conversion between Metric units and Customary Units of Length: This chart shows how to convert between different metric units and customary units of length.

Examples based on length conversion charts:

i) 3 feet = 3 x 12 in = 36 inches

ii) A rope is cut in three pieces of 30 cm, 40 cm and 50 cm. What is the total length of rope in meters?

Add the three lengths: 30 + 40 + 50 cm = 120 cm

1 m = 100 cm (Refer the metric conversion chart).

120 cm = \(\frac{120}{100}\) = 1.2 meter
Applications of Length Measurement

Length is used to measure the size of objects like ribbons, fabric rolls, and sides of geometric figures.

Kids can enhance their measurement skills by engaging in interactive measuring games online. If you wish to practice measuring length, check out these cool Measuring Length Games!

Distance is used to measure space between objects, such as between vehicles, cities, or any two points.

Height measurement is useful for determining human height and placing objects on walls or elevated surfaces.

Volume/Capacity Measurement

Liquids are measured by their volume, which refers to the space they occupy. Liquid volume is the measurement of how much space a liquid takes up in 3D space.

Volume and capacity are related concepts but have a slight difference. Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by an object or substance, while capacity specifically refers to the maximum amount that a container or hollow object can hold.

Check out these Capacity Games for Kids for more information!
Units of Measurement of Liquid Volume/ Capacity
Here are some commonly used units of liquid volume in metric system and the customary system:

Liquid Volume Conversion Method

1 liter = 1000 milliliter (1 L = 1000 mL)

1 gallon (gal) = 4 quarts (qt) = 8 pints (pt) = 16 cups (c) = 128 fluid ounces (fl oz)

1 liter (L) is approximately equal to 0.2642 US liquid gallons (gal)

1 liter is approximately equal to 33.814 fluid ounces (fl oz).

Application

Volume measurement is essential for measuring food items like oils, juices, syrups, and honey. Instruments such as cups, jars, and glasses with markings are used for liquid measurement.

These units are also applicable for measuring substances like petrol, diesel, and compressed gases.

In the field of chemical sciences, volume measurement is crucial for precise calculations during chemical and clinical tests, using small units like milliliters.

Weight Measurement

Weight measurement involves determining the amount of force exerted by a solid object, indicating its heaviness. It is a physical quantity that signifies the object's mass. Weighing scales, both analog and digital, are specifically designed to measure the weight of the human body. These scales provide precise readings of weight through a dial or digital display.

Learn the concept of weight in the most playful and interactive way with Weight Measurement Games!
Units of Weight Measurement
Some commonly used units of measurement for weight in the metric system and customary system:

In the metric system, milligrams are used for small weights, such as medications, while grams and kilograms are larger units, more commonly used for everyday purposes.

In the customary system, ounces are often used for smaller weights, such as food ingredients, while pounds are used for larger weights. Tons are used for exceptionally heavy weights, such as in industrial contexts.
Weight Conversion Method
Weight conversion between metric units:
Weight conversion between customary units: Applications of Weight Measurement
Weight measurement techniques are used to accurately determine the weight of various items, including food portions. These food items can range from meats, poultry, fruits, vegetables, and grains like rice and pulses.

Additionally, weight measurement techniques are also applied to weigh metallic objects and other items of interest. By utilizing weight measurement, precise quantities can be determined for cooking, portion control, or any situation requiring accurate weight assessment.

Time Measurement

Time measurement is used to assess the duration or time interval needed for tasks. Common time measurement devices include wall clocks, wristwatches, stopwatches, and calendars. A clock typically has three hands for seconds, minutes, and hours, divided into 12 equal parts.

Digital clocks can display time in both 12-hour and 24-hour formats. Calendars consist of 12 months from January to December, with approximately 52 weeks classified from Sunday to Monday. These time measurement instruments are also useful in solving simple math problems.
Units of Time Measurement
The unit 'second' is universally recognized in both the metric system and the customary system. It serves as the base unit of time in the SI (International System of Units).

While the minute is not an SI unit, it is widely accepted and used within the SI system. Additionally, other accepted units of time include the hour, day, week, month, year, and so on. These units provide a comprehensive framework for measuring time across various contexts.
Time Conversion Method
Check out the given image for easy conversions between different units of time.
The following chart summarizes the conversion factors: Applications of Time Measurement
Time measurement is utilized to calculate the duration of specific events or activities. It proves valuable in solving equation-based problems related to work and time.

For instance, if a task is completed in 120 minutes, we can determine the equivalent time taken in hours to finish the work. This application allows for efficient time management and aids in understanding the relationship between different units of time.

How To Teach the Concept of Measurement to Kids with Real-life Applications

Use everyday objects: Introduce measurement concepts by using familiar objects like pencils, books, or toys. Let kids compare and measure their lengths or weights using rulers or scales.

Cooking adventures: Involve kids in cooking or baking activities where they can measure ingredients like flour, sugar, or liquids using measuring cups and spoons. This helps them understand the importance of accurate measurements for successful recipes.

Height chart: Create a height chart on the wall where kids can measure and mark their growth progress over time. They can use a measuring tape or ruler to track their height, promoting a hands-on understanding of measurement.

Field trips: Take kids on field trips to places like a farmer's market or a construction site. Encourage them to estimate and measure quantities like fruits or lengths of objects using appropriate tools. This real-life experience helps connect measurement concepts to the world around them.

Importance of Introducing Measurements to Kids through Games

Introducing measurements to kids through games is important for effective learning. By utilizing measurement games online or incorporating measurement games into classroom activities, parents and teachers can enhance children's learning experience and foster a solid foundation in measurement concepts. Here are three key points highlighting the significance of using games to teach measurements:

Engaging and interactive learning: Games about measurement provide an engaging and interactive way for kids to grasp the concept. Online measurement games, such as interactive measurement games or measurement math games, make learning fun and enjoyable for kids.

Practical application: Measurement games allow kids to apply measurement skills in a practical context. They can practice measuring lengths, weights, and volumes while playing, which helps them understand how measurements are used in real-life situations.

Reinforces mathematical skills: Measurement games for kids help reinforce important mathematical skills, such as estimation, comparison, and problem-solving. By playing these games, kids develop a stronger understanding of numbers, units, and measurement relationships.

Learning the Measurement Skills: Math Games vs. Traditional Methods

Positive learning experience: Math games make learning measurement skills enjoyable and keep kids motivated to practice, unlike traditional methods.

Practical applications: Math games provide hands-on application of measurement concepts, helping kids understand real-life relevance, which is less apparent in traditional methods.

Active problem-solving: Math games foster critical thinking and analytical skills through active problem-solving, promoting a deeper understanding of measurements compared to traditional methods.

Personalized learning pace: Math games offer adjustable difficulty levels, allowing kids to learn at their own pace and ensuring effective skill development, which may be challenging to achieve through 'one-size-fits-all' traditional methods.

Shape Patterns is a sequencing game where you need to complete the pattern of different coloured 2D shapes. It is a multiple choice game with three levels of difficulty. It is excellent for shape recognition and for problem solving.

In the easier levels you need to continue the pattern, but in the more challenging level 3, you are presented with a sequence with the missing element in different positions. This level in particular, is an excellent problem solving activity.

As with all of our games, Shape Patterns works well on an interactive whiteboard.
