I am pleased to let you know that ‘Letters and Sounds’, a well-known phonics provider for schools, are releasing free live phonics lessons daily on their YouTube channel. These are suitable for Key Stage 1 children to help them to keep up with their phonics learning. After looking at a lesson for each year group, they are taught by phonics experts and look fantastic for a daily phonics session at home. You can find these daily sessions at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP_FbjYUP_UtldV2K_-niWw/videos - click HERE to go directly to the site.

Lessons include:

• ‘Learning to blend’ sessions – suitable for children in Reception and Year 1 who need extra practice sounding and reading words such as ‘tap’, ‘cap’, ‘mat’ and ‘pat’. These sessions are uploaded to their YouTube channel every week day at 11:00 am.
• ‘Reception’ sessions – suitable for children who can confidently blend and read words such as ‘rain’, ‘fish’ and ‘chat’. These sessions are uploaded to their YouTube channel every week day at 10:00 am.
• ‘Year 1’ sessions – suitable for children who can confidently blend and read words such as ‘stamp’, ‘chair’ and ‘green’. These sessions are uploaded to their YouTube channel every week day at 10:30 am.

Although there are no Year 2 sessions, children in that year group may like to use the resource to recap their Phase 5 phonics. Please be aware that you can access each daily video at any time of the day!

Please do make use of these online resources if you have not done already.
