Phonic Sounds

When your child is learning to read there are two crucial things to learn:

• the sounds represented by written letters
• how to blend the sounds together to make words.

Children are taught to read letters or groups of letters by saying the sound(s) they represent – so, they are taught that the letter l sounds like llllll when we say it. Children can then start to read words by blending  the sounds together to make a word
