Communication and Language (Phonics)
Day 1 Listen to Mrs B on Tapestry singing her favourite nursery rhyme.
Silly nursery rhymes Can you sing the rhyme and then change one aspect of the rhyme.
Twinkle, twinkle little bird Baa Baa pink cow This little dog went to market
Day 2 Mirror play Using a mirror play at making faces and copying movements of the lips and tongue. Introduce sound making in the mirror and discuss the way lips move, for example, when sounding out ‘p’ and ‘b’, the way that tongues poke out for ‘th’, the way teeth and lips touch for ‘f’ and the way lips shape the sounds ‘sh’ and ‘m’
Day 3 Clapping sounds Think of words using the letters ‘s, a, t, p, i, n’ (e.g. sat, pin, nip, pat, tap, pit, pip) and sound them out, clapping each phoneme with the children in unison, then blend the phonemes to make the whole word orally.
Day 4 Robot talk Introduce to the children a soft toy (robot if possible) that can only speak in ‘sound-talk’. The children see the toy whispering in the adult’s ear. What would you like for tea today? The toy speaks silently in the adult’s ear and the adult repeats ‘ch-ee-se’ ‘cheese!’ Now invite the children to see if they can speak like the toy:Ask the toy again What else would you like? Be careful to think of items with names of only single syllables (e.g. fish, cake, pie, soup).
