Here are some useful literacy websites we enjoy using in the classroom:
http://www.letters-and-sounds.com/phase-2.html - Phase 2 covers the basic sounds for the 26 letters of the alphabet. Whilst it is aimed more towards Reception aged children, it would be excellent if Year 1 children could occasionally revise these in preparation for their phonics screening at the end of May. Feel free to explore the resources and games in Phase 2, especially focusing on blending the sounds together to form words.
http://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/Phase2Menu.htm - Any of the interactive games on this site are appropriate for both Reception and Year 1 children. Some of the games will introduce 'alien' or nonsense words, which the children are expected to segment and blend.
http://www.letters-and-sounds.com/phase-3.html - Phase 3 covers a range of graphemes. Feel free to explore the resources and games in Phase 3, especially focusing on blending the sounds together to form words.
http://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/Phase3Menu.htm - Any of the interactive games on this site are appropriate for Year 1 children.
http://www.ictgames.com/literacy.html - This is an excellent site that presents all phonics phases in an accessible and fun way.
