Power points with green word and red words
The following power points contain green words with set 1, 2 and set 3 sounds. There is also a power point with red words from our RWI books.
Dolphins have been practising using sound buttons to help us to decode words.
If you are reading these words please get them to draw the sounds buttons under the word. This is super practise for their phonic screening the first week in June!
Pseudo words
Alien words are often also called nonsense words or pseudo words, and are words made up of sounds a child has already been taught through RWI.
The children know that they do not make sense - but we like to think that they are the aliens funny names.
