Lola the Listening Leopard
Lola teaches us how to sit and listen through games in readiness for us to start our Phase 1 Phonics program. Lola is very popular with the children and they soon learn that she doesn't like loud noises.
Phase 1
As soon as the children have all settled in we will begin our phonic sessions.
We start with listening skills before we begin Letters and Sounds Phase 1.
Phase 1 has 7 Aspects to cover. We will revisit aspects if we feel the children need further consolidation of learning.
Aspect 1 - General sound discrimination - environmental
Aspect 2 - General sound discrimination - instrumental sounds
Aspect 3 - General sound discrimination - body percussion
Aspect 4 - Rhythm and rhyme
Aspect 5 - Alliteration
Aspect 6 - Voice sounds
Aspect 7 - Oral blending and segmenting
