Week 7: Assessment Week

Week 8: Focus on any sounds that children found tricky during assessment week

A typical phonics session is:

• All children sat on the carpet and flash through our tricky words
• Flash through sounds that we have covered
• Focus on one sound for that day
• All children go to tables and write words with the sound of the day in
• 2x groups then work with an adult with their RWI books and the 2 groups are completing an independent task. The groups will then swap over the next day.

RWI Books

• Children work in small groups
• Within the group the child works with a partner
• Children complete 3 reads of the same book.
