Phonics & Letter Formation EYFS & KS1
At Bayton we pride ourselves on our high expectations. We believe that our children should learn how to write, forming their letters correctly from EYFS. This helps them have to think less about the physical task of joining their writing as they move through the school.
The Ruth Miskin letter formations help our children to not only learn the correct letter formation, but also have some fun too!
Hand in hand with the written side of learning letters, we also use 'Jolly Phonics' to teach our children the correct 'sound' (phoneme) each letter makes.
So why not learn along with your child at home and take a look at the links below!
Thank you to all the Reception and Key Stage 1 parents who attended the recent Phonics and Reading workshop, we really appreciate all of your support. Please find below the Presentation slides and some useful links we talked about. Please feel free to share any photos of your children enjoying Reading and Phonics at home, these will then be added to this page. You can email these via the office email or send it to class teachers of the Dojo system.
