Day 3 – Reading
Keep practising these tricky words.Try the first group, and then move
onto the other ones if you need more challenge. You can read them
on here, or make up a game. For example, write the words on paper
and then place them around the room. Follow an instruction, such
as… hop to
she
… jump to
they
.
•
At school, we call tricky words ‘Red Words’. They are tricky because they cannot be
sounded out using phonics, so we need to remember them by sight. This will help to increase
the children’s sight vocabulary and the speed with which they read (fluency).

Day 4 – Reading
With help from an adult or older brother / sister, read these sentences
about ‘Superworm’ then decide if they are true or false? Thumbs up for
‘True’ and thumbs down for false.
•
If the children are able to use their phonics to read some words, that’s great.
However, because the purpose of this activity is to focus on their understanding of
the story (comprehension), it is fine if someone reads the sentences to them.
Notes
for
parents

Superworm is super long.
Superworm has got lots of friends.
The lizard is very kind to Superworm.
A big black crow picks up Superworm with

Butterfly Day – Reading
•
By answering Yes or No, the children demonstrate if they have understood the question
(comprehension).
•
For longer words, e.g. ‘reading’, we ‘chop it up’, so that they sound out and blend the
first part of the word and then the rest. Some children may recognise the word ending
(suffix) ‘ing’ straight away, without sounding it out.
Notes
for
parents
yes
no
Will you see a book reading
itself?
Is it dark at night?
Is the queen three years old?
Can you read these silly questions, using your phonics? They are so silly, because the answer
is very obviously Yes or No. Remember to look at each word to see if you know it straight
away. If not, look for special friends and then sound out and blend each word. Black
questions focus on Set 1 sounds. The ones in green focus on Set 2, with the odd Set 3 sound.
Butterfly Day – Writing
If you could be a superhero
for a day, what would your
special power be? What
would you use it for?
Remember to write in full
sentences, using finger
spaces between each word.
•
The children will probably spell things the way they sound, using the sounds they know. For
example, if they choose to write ‘fly’ they may spell it ‘fligh’.
