Phonics and Reading at home information for parents

Thank you to those of you who came to our workshop. Here is the presentation for those of you who could not make it. I really hope it is useful in enabling you to help your child at home. Remember to keep looking on Tapestry for weekly phonics challenges. Thank you.

Pete The Rocking Cat

This week we have been reading a story about Pete the Cat. Pete the Cat goes to school in his new red school shoes. He goes to lots of places in school that are new to him....Does he worry? Goodness no! The children have really enjoyed this story and we have been talking about the different things that they have been doing in their school shoes. Pete the Cat sings his favourite song all through the story 'I'm rocking in my school shoes, I'm rocking in my school shoes!' I'm sure your children will be able to sing this to you. You can listen to the story on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOP8PdTJDf0 (Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes by simicrane) and there are lots of other stories about Pete the Cat that you might be able to find in the library.
