Phonics - Camera words. Use the camera word cards as flashcards. Make a pile of camera words your child can read this week. It is important to check this to ensure retention of words.
Choose 4-6 words they were unable to recognise and we will play a game.
Sight word target practice - You can use any scraps of paper or paper plates to write the unknown words on.
Stick the words on a wall or lay out on the ground.
Call out a word for your child to throw a soft toy at it. If they hit the word give them one point. Take turns to make it more fun.
BBC Bitesize - describing words - Click here - Activity 1 - If your child is writing out the describing words, encourage them to sound out the words. Their spelling may not be perfect but it is important they try to sound out words independently and make an attempt at representing each sound. E.g. they may write purple as perpel, scary as scairee.
You may need to help by saying the sounds slowly for them.
