-Ask your child to blend simple CVC words with you. Can they use their Fred Fingers? Can they sound ring, thing, wish, fish, ship, quiz, quit, link, think. Can they try to write these words? Can you write any others?

-Play Dragons Den (phonicsplay.co.uk). Select Phase 3 (digraphs) & Revise all Phase 2. This could be a challenge if you have some phonic knowledge gaps!
