Now the children are getting more experienced and confident with blending to read words, we have started to read captions and sentences too. It would be great if you could write out some of the captions and help your child to read them. This week we have read:
a fat hen on a hill
a red sock in a van
a sad cat on a bed
a big dog at the vet
a nap in a box
