Phonics on Tuesdays, Handwriting on Wednesdays

Phonics builds early reading and spelling. Handwriting builds the pencil control to write it down, using the sounds learnt in Phonics.

Tuesdays4:30 to 5:00pmUK time, 30 minutes each week

Phonics

Following the British EYFS curriculum, children work step by step through Phases 1 to 5, starting from where each child is. They learn phonological awareness, letter sounds, blending and segmenting, digraphs and trigraphs, and tricky words, then read and spell simple words and use phonics in their early reading and writing. There is plenty of repetition and consolidation throughout the year.

Handwriting

Children build fine motor skills, pencil control and correct letter formation, moving from single letters to words and simple sentences. The sessions are on Zoom, but as hands-on as possible: playdough, sand, air writing and other practical resources for practising letter formation. Handwriting is linked to the phonics sounds being taught.
