You can support your child to learn these graphemes by:
- Playing hide and seek - write grapheme cards and hide them around your home, can your child tell you the grapheme they have found?
- Play teachers and encourage your child to be the teacher and teach you or their siblings each grapheme.
- Flashcard each grapheme - how quickly can you say all of the sounds you see?
- Make a matching set of cards - your child could write each new flashcard and play snap or pairs with your two sets.
- Go on a Phonics scavenger hunt - choose a grapheme card - what can your child find which has the sound on the card? e.g. oi - Can your children find something with the oi digraph in such as a c-oi-n.
- Continue to learn tricky words and read words with the digraphs we have learnt this term.
